Another impressive title for the impressive actress and activist.

Just because we have not heard much about Emma Watson of late does not mean that the Ivy League–educated actress and U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador is any less busy than normal. In fact, sometime between filming the live-action version of Disney’s

alum found time to add another part-time gig to her résumé—a fellowship at Oxford University.

reported that the actress was appointed as a visiting fellow at Lady Margaret Hall by Oxford University—along with another beloved British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, and nine other esteemed individuals from assorted fields.

The appointments were confirmed by the college’s principal, Alan Rusbridger, who expanded on what the part-time positions will require, aside from enriching the cultural life of the college.

“They are people drawn from a variety of backgrounds, callings and professions and we want them to form a bridge between our own academic community and the worlds they inhabit and represent,” Rusbridger said. “At a minimum we’d like them to drop in occasionally at college, eat with us and meet informally with a variety of the LMH community. . .It could be a conversation or debate, a performance, a lecture or seminar, a form of outreach—or something we haven’t thought of.”

The fellowship also comes with a housing perk, Rusbridger explained.

“They are welcome to come and stay in college if they’d like a place temporarily to think or work. And some have already suggested other ways in which they might engage with a body of 700 incredibly smart students and tutors in order to stimulate their own thinking or work in progress.”

Congratulations to Watson, Cumberbatch, and Oxford—the last of which will most certainly see a spike in applicants due to these starry appointments.
