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. Find out more about each position below!
Committee
Core
Isabelle Mohammed
President
she/her
Hi! I’m Isabelle and I’m your JCR President for 2024. I act as the bridge between the college and the undergraduate body, advocating on behalf of students and supporting our amazing JCR committee. My role sees me represent students on various committees, collaborate with the MCR and most importantly listen to any concerns students may have. My goal is ensure that the college remains a welcoming environment for all, and that students here feel as happy studying and living at Christ’s as possible. Some of my aims as President include working with college to solve the international student storage problem, offering JCR subsidies for bicycle safety and potentially introducing air fryers into kitchenettes. Please feel free to drop me an email if you have any concerns! You can also find me around college taking pictures of Finch and Baines or in the buttery enjoying a hot chocolate, so if you have any questions I am always happy to help!
Misha Mir
Vice President
she/her
Hi! I’m Misha and I’m your JCR Vice President for 2024. Alongside working with the SU, my role includes collaborating with other JCR members and current students to ensure Christs is a welcoming and happy environment for everyone here! I’m intent on promoting diversity within college (through themed cultural formals), supporting societies within Christs as well as establishing connections with other college’s JCRs to broaden our community. Please email me if you have any concerns or any ideas as to what I can do next!
Skyler Roberts
Treasurer
he/him
Hi! I'm Skyler, the JCR's Treasurer for 2024. I'm responsible for the JCR's financial management as well as the funding of more than 30 student societies. I'm excited to be continuing the work of our previous treasurer through our successful Free Prescription Scheme, and I'm working on establishing better financial analytics tools and archival measures to help our current and future JCRs to continue these schemes. Continuing my previous work with the JCR, I'm taking on some of Christ's longest standing student enquiries with thorough financing considerations; the next project is refurbishing the JCR!
April O'Neill
Secretary
she/her
Hi! I'm April, your JCR secretary! My role involves sending the weekly bulletin, running the JCR social media platforms, and taking the minutes/preparing the agendas for meetings throughout the year. My aims are to keep you updated about all things Christ’s, to publicise exciting events and opportunities, summarise what the JCR is up to, and create a dynamic (and navigable!) calendar of all the events going on in college! I am also hoping to create more fun content for the JCR Instagram, from student takeovers to interactive polls. Please do send me an email if you have anything you'd like to publicise in the weekly bulletin or on JCR socials, and if you have any ideas/suggestions do send them my way!
