Samuel Owen
PRESIDENT
Hi, I’m Sam, a third-year mathematician, and the JCR President for this year. My main job is to chair JCR meetings, deal with any queries that the undergraduates may have, liaise between the JCR and the college, as well as doing a lot of the background work within the JCR. This includes taking the JCRs ideas, thoughts and issues to the higher ups in college. A lot of my time is spent helping out with and facilitating the ideas of the committee to make sure everything is running smoothly!

Ed Gray
VP/TREASURER
Hi! I’m Ed, a second year E&Mer, and I’m your Vice-President/Treasurer. My role comes in two parts. As Vice-President, I help Sam to run the JCR as smoothly as possible and maintain a good relationship with college. As Treasurer, I make the JCR budget for the year, allocating funding to all the different reps, while paying out motions and other funding. Alongside this, I will represent the JCR on financial issues with college, such as rent and JCR funding. If you have any questions about the budget, funding you can gain from the JCR, or even more general questions feel free to come ask me anytime!

Charlie Soanes and Paddy Quirk
MALE/NB & FEMALE/NB WELFARE REPS
Hi! We're Charlie (she/her, 2nd-year Geographer) and Paddy (he/him, 2nd-year Psychologist) and we're your JCR Welfare Reps! As well as making sure that everyone feels comfortable and supported in college, we put on weekly welfare events such as tea and yoga on Sundays. We also organise larger welfare events in week 5 of each term, such as welfaries! We're both trained/training peer supporters, so we and the other student peer supporters are absolutely happy to give any welfare support and advice you might need - we're here to help you and direct you towards the available support. We’re both around college a lot so please come and chat to us if you’re ever need any anything or have any suggestions! :)
Hopefully you’ll find Jesus as friendly and welcoming as we did :)

Pia Mathur and James Crozier
SOCIAL SECRETARIES
Hi, we’re Pia and James, your Social Secs for this year! Our job is to make sure your social life is so fun that you forget about the essays you’ve been writing. We host all the JCR social events, from BOPs and bar nights to Black tie events. Feel free to find us if you have any suggestions or want to know what’s coming up in the social calendar - we can usually be found in the Lower Meyricke where Pia’s projecting her lack of work onto James and preventing him from “locking in”.

P.S. I challenge you to dethrone one of my many wonderful records such as the Wii sports bowling high score, the most points scored in the charities scavenger hunt, or 300,000 views on Google maps. DM me for a reward if you do…
