First up, I’m going to have to do a plug for Arts Week events. We have the TV Presenter Dave Benson Phillips coming in for a Q&A; definitely something you don’t want to miss if you were an avid fan of Read more…
Hello! Welcome back to TT 2017 – hope you’ve had somewhat of a relaxing vac! Now that term has started again, I’m here to let you know what’s going on in the world of the JCR. First up, “hello to our friends from across the pond” as this term’s Stanford Students have arrived! Make sure if you’re organising anything that emails get out to all students. Secondly, we’ve got some big events coming up: OUSU have Read more…
Hello! I’m coming to the end of my first term as JCR President and it’s certainly been as busy and hectic as people warned me it would be! We’ve done some awesome things this term like our Corpus Challenge, Charity Week and E&E week, but there’s also been a lot of work behind the scenes in changing things to make life at college that little bit better. We’ve seen a complete update of our website (thanks Read more…
Hey everyone, There’s not a lot to report meetings-wise this week, however, it has been packed full of events thanks to our amazing, hard-working RAG Officer, Teeneka Mai. From Bake-Off, to a promise auction, to RAG Casino, we’ve had a week packed full of brilliantly organised events that had to bonus of raising money for charity. We’re incredibly lucky to have Teneeka on our Committee who has started off the quincentenary year brilliantly. This week Read more…
Hey, The world may roll us, but it’s ok because I’m here to let you know what’s been going down in the JCR. On Monday we held our very first Corpus Converses which discussed attitudes towards Millennials within the media and academia. It was great to see some prominent members of our SCR join us for the talk. We hope that similar events in the future will help to open up dialogue between different college Read more…

Hey and welcome to 4th week – hope everyone’s having a great time of it so far! I have just finished a looong JCR meeting, but hey, we’ve got to let democracy thrive! So with that done, I’m getting on with the weekly lowdown of what’s gone on and what you need to know. First off, massive congratulations are in order for our new Women’s Representative, Lilya Tata, and our new Computing Officer, Edward Hart! Read more…
Hey, It’s been a relatively quiet week for the committee generally speaking. Our one big event was of course Burn’s Night formal, but other than that your JCR Officers have been quietly working away on various projects with events to be announced oh so imminently. Looking at my diary it seems to be taken up with various books to be read, but on closer inspection there are a few things that may or may not Read more…
Hello! Having just finished a very tense meeting where a motion failed by only one vote, I thought it appropriate to lighten (hopefully) the mood with updates on progress with the Presidential side of things. First up is the work into suspension issues. Bex (our Academic Affairs and Suspended Students Officer) and I have held various meetings with SusCam, the Senior Tutor, and Academic Registrar – that means we’ve got lots of info to compile into Read more…
Hello, I’m very excited to have completed my first few weeks as JCR Pres! I thought I’d start this blog to give you an idea of what my weeks involve (so that you know I’m actually doing things) and so that you can then ask me questions/suggest other ideas the JCR should be working on. This is of course our quincentenary year and as such I have been drawing up ideas to emphasise where Corpus can go Read more…
