Vice-President

email jcr-vp

Hi everyone. I’m Ben, a second-year Engineer from Staffordshire, and your JCR Vice President for 2025-26. My favourite thing about Queens’ is the incredible range of people that coalesce to form our community, from all different backgrounds and all corners of the world. I’m responsible for representing Queens’ JCR on the Student Council (within the wider SU), and for organising this year’s Big QJCR survey at the end of Easter term – a great opportunity for us to make our voices heard and which college acts upon. I also sit on various committees within Queens’, so please do contact me if you have any questions or feedback.

Secretary

email jcr-secretary

Hi everyone! I’m Eunji, a first year Law student and I am excited to be your QJCR Secretary! My favourite thing about Queens’ has to be the close-knit community, cheap meal deals and, of course, we cannot forget about the sound of ducks and birds which make the perfect way to wake me up in the morning! Within my role, I plan to implement insightful student spotlights, publishing ‘A Day in The Life’ videos and other fun content! Also, I would love to work closely with the QCJR team to maximise our use of social media to boost awareness of crucial topics such as mental health and access initiatives! Looking forward to the year ahead~

Treasurer

email jcr-treasurer

Hi, my name’s Femi, I’m a first-year chemical engineering and biotechnology undergraduate student from Southeast London. My role involves allocating the JCR budget, ensuring the many societies and events for undergraduates at Queen’s are appropriately funded and sorting out college stash. Whilst treasurer I aim to make the process of setting up societies and accessing funding simpler and more accessible whilst also exploring new stash designs based on feedback from the undergraduate student body. I’m always keen to hear how we can more effectively assign the JCR funding to benefit Queens’ students, so please do get in touch with your ideas and suggestions!

Hi! I’m Grace, a first-year Engling and the QEnt’s President. My role involves organising social events for everyone. I love the outdoor social spaces in Queens’, and I think they should be used more! I want to create events that are both club-like and more relaxed. I am excited to introduce a non-gown formal event, jazz nights with hot chocolate this spring, and improved bops and karaoke nights at the bar. Please email me with any suggestions for events or themes for the bop!

I’m Lucas and I’m a first year from Nottingham studying Geography. As your Access Officer I will work alongside our wonderful Schools Liaison Officer to help organise the various existing access schemes. This includes college tours, outreach in our link areas, and the Queens’ roadshow. Furthermore, I want to make the financial side of student life here at Queens’ much more transparent, making prospective students with budgeting concerns more aware of the various hidden costs of cambridge life, and the wide range of (often unknown) bursaries. I would also like to improve/create schemes that give disadvantaged students more supercurricular opportunities for personal statements. My favourite thing about Queens’ is our beautiful grove!

Heya, I’m Verise! I’m a PBSer and one of your first year representatives. We’re responsible for planning your freshers week. We know that the transition into a environment full of strangers can be an exhausting time, so we aim to make the process of navigating new friendships (and your new home!) as easy and enjoyable as possible. Outside of the JCR, you’ll usually find me trying to do five things at once. I like to do some gymming, basketball, kickboxing, with a smattering of orchestra and theatre in an average week. Oh, and my supo work. If you have any questions or worries, feel free to pop me a message :)
