Committee

Hiya everyone! I’m Noah, a second-year ASNaC from London, and your JCR President! I have the privilege of leading our dynamic JCR committee, ensuring smooth operations and supporting their various initiatives within the college community. Within this, I’m involved in coordinating large-scale events like Freshers’ Week (with the Freps) and collaborating closely with the SCR and MCR. Advocating for our undergraduate student body, I represent us in numerous committees, eager to address any concerns or ideas you may have. Whether it’s a small suggestion or a big vision, I’m all ears! Beyond my presidential duties, you can find me deeply engaged in college life: I’m an active member of the BATS (Queens’ Drama Society), or, if it’s the weekend, on the rugby pitch. When not immersed in extracurriculars, you might spot me at my desk in Fisher, trawling through medieval manuscripts, or in QCafe, avoiding a supervision deadline! My inbox is always open for your suggestions, feedback, or just a friendly chat, so do please get in touch!

Hi! I’m Ewan, a second-year Law student from Dublin, and I am your JCR Vice-President this year! This means that I’m involved in representing the undergraduate community on various College committees, and also in the university-wide Student Union council. A really important element of my role is organising the annual Big QJCR Survey, which is a fantastic opportunity to hear back from students about the issues that matter to them within Queens’, which will take place at the end of the academic year. I’m excited to be representing you in this role, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions! :)

Hi! I’m Izzy (she/her), and I’m a second year from Cambridge studying History. As Secretary, my role is to keep an eye on the behind-the-scenes, admin shebang of the JCR, as well as putting together the weekly JCR newsletter. I’m really excited to get going with such an incredible committee this year! Please do get in contact- I am always looking for newsletter submissions and weekly animal pictures :)

Hey everyone! I’m Ellie, a first year Land Economy student from Nottinghamshire. My primary role as your JCR Treasurer is to ensure the budgets are allocated effectively, oversee the finances of the committee and ensure that our undergraduate societies and events are appropriately funded. I also organise the stash drops for our college merch! I am always keen to hear how we can be more effective and improve the way we allocate our funding for the benefit of all students, so please do get in touch with your ideas and suggestions!

Hi I’m Cath and I’m your QEnts President, my main job is to make sure your uni social life is the best it can be within college, I’ll be planning bops, bounce and bar quizzes to name a few things. If you need anything feel free to email or message me on instagram :)

Hi everyone! I’m Amelia, a second year PBSer from the Peak District. My role as JCR Access Officer means I work alongside the Queens’ Schools Liaison Officers to help organise college’s access schemes, such as college tours, Offer Holders’ Day, Open Days, Queens’ Roadshow, and many more! My main aims are: to expand Queens’ link with state comprehensive schools, particularly those in the North who cannot easily come down to Queens’ to visit for a day, and to create more access content to post on social media to reach more prospective students! Outside of my degree I get involved in many societies including Dancesport, Small Bore, and MagSoc- so if you have any questions about access work, societies, and how I (attempt to) balance all of the above alongside my degree, please feel free to send me an email :).

Hello everyone, I’m Bram, a second-year engineer from the north of England and the Queens’ JCR Environmental officer for 2024-2025. I believe that as a college we have the ability, and the duty, to protect the environment for both current and future generations of students, and I hope to be able to help in this endeavour. I look forward to finding ways to make the college more environmentally friendly, as well as giving students opportunities to further their understand and appreciation of nature, the environment, and the impact they can have on it.

My main responsibility is pushing the Gender Expression Fund out to students for support with gender-affirming items, which can include anything from tucking panties and binders, to femme/masc clothing and other items. Beyond that, I’m here to support LGBT welfare - that can be dealing with misgendering, awkward interactions with supervisors, or just chatting about dysphoria/identity issues - and distributing LGBT guidance for students in general. If you’re trans, or questioning your identity, and you’re looking for help with name changes, feelings of displacement, etc, or if you’re queer and in a difficult situation at what can be a pretty intimidating institution, then feel free to drop me a line :)
