The JCR Committee is made up of a group of Christ's students who have been elected to represent the views of the undergraduate students at college and university level. The central role of the JCR Committee is to represent the interests and look after the welfare of the student body. This could include anything from running events to discussing food, accommodation or access in our meetings. Each member of the JCR committee has a specific responsibility.

Misc
Isma Mirza
Access Officer
she/her
Hi, I'm Isma, and I am delighted to be your Access Officer! I plan to work alongside other officers on the JCR, especially the Class Act and BME. I also aim to work with the College Admissions Team to continue developing and expanding the outreach initiatives and widening participation events that Christ's is renowned for. Having benefitted from these access programmes, I am passionate about supporting students who come from underrepresented backgrounds. I'm looking forward to working with the SU, collaborating on initiatives with Access Officers from other Colleges and working with our CRep community to deliver various outreach events and socials. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to get involved with any outreach-related work!
