MEET THE COMMITTEE #13
George is our new Computer Officer - the horrors of the Freshers' Week Gown Fiasco only made him hungrier for more JCR Committee.
He's a second year mathmo, and his fun fact is that he once castrated a sheep.
... George's main goal for this year is to have a fully functioning JCR website! It's currently undergoing a big restructuring, with a whole new section dedicated to current students. This will include all info about the committee, R O O M B A L L O T, and useful links to things like the buttery menu and room booking forms all in one place. There's also a new anonymous message form (qjcr.org.uk/contact-the-committee)!

MEET THE COMMITTEE #10
Stephen is one of your dynamic welfare dispensing duo for the year!!
In his free time he likes to row, play water polo, volunteer with children, paint, give out condoms, and occasionally work on his degree in education and psychology.
... He think the only way for him to effectively perform the welfare role is to build relationships with as many people as possible. He wants to make friends with as many of you all as possible, listen to anything you want to tell him, and give you all the love that's in his little heart and is desperate to get out.

MEET THE COMMITTEE #9
Introducing Boo, your new Access officer! Boo is second-year Natsci from Bradford (one of our wonderful link districts). She sees her role of access officer as ensuring that people for all backgrounds have equal opportunities to apply, and get in, to Cambridge.
Her own experience has taught her that applying to Cambridge can be scary and confusing particularly if you do not know people who have been/ can support. But that is what the whole access team is... there to help with. The access team of Queens’ includes the Schools Liaison Officer, Maria, access intern Hannah and a new Schools Liaison officer especially for Bradford. Each Cambridge college has a number of link districts who they support by running access events and being in contact with schools, our link districts are Kent, Havering and Bradford. Queens’ access therefore do a lot of work to support students from these areas such as running an annual roadshow in which we speak to thousands of students about Cambridge. They also act as a great first-contact to any student (especially those from one of these areas) who is thinking of applying to Cambridge. On top of this Boo also works with the access team to run and organise events such as open days and also the interviews which aim to make sure that every student feels at home at Queens’.
Access is something that everyone in Queens’ can get involved in not just to receive meal vouchers but because it really does make a difference. Students can help to run college tours, go on the access roadshow, help at interviews and at open days. Boo is always really keen to hear any suggestions about what more could be done to improve access at Queens’.
