Committee
President: Christine Simpson
From Trinity Term 2008 through Hilary Term 2009, I will serve as the MCR President, the graduate community's main representative to the College. As such, I attend various College committee meetings and defend graduate interests before the Senior Members of Lincoln's Fellowship and Staff. Additionally, I liaise with and organise the MCR Student Executive and Committee, chair MCR meetings, and work for the general welfare of all members. Treasurer: James Roffee
The MCR keeps a healthy budget and thus can subsidise many of our social events. However, this requires keeping track of the finances and explaining them to the members at large. My job is to write all the cheques and keep account of outgoing and incoming monies. I also advise the committee to be prudent when they get a bit too frivolous! Secretary: Tim Funnell
General busy-body, I take on all the odd jobs that nobody else wants to do. My official role is to minute all MCR meetings and publish the discussion for all members to see. I must safeguard the constitution and make sure we follow the rules. Lockers, punts, newspapers, domestic issues and DVDs are all under my jurisdiction. I am also in charge of providing tea and coffee in the MCR. Social Secretaries: Xavier Droux and Guy Giuffredi
Lincoln MCR is one of the most sociable in Oxford. This is due to a busy schedule of organised events varying from wild nights out to quiet and relaxing lunches. We try to organise a variety of socials for all to enjoy and are welcome to new suggestions. Check out our termcard! Welfare: Nicole Scheumann and Lefteris Agorogiannis
We are responsible for helping students with a variety of issues, ranging from health and safety matters to financial and academic problems. Studying in intensive programs (which is the case for most students in Oxford), many will find themselves trying to deal with important concerns in an unfamiliar environment. Our role is to help these people feel comfortable enough to address these concerns and to ensure that the appropriate information is available in case they need it. Additionally, we are in charge of supplying students with material important for their safety and well-being (condoms, pregnancy tests, attack alarms etc.). In case you need any of these, feel free to send us an e-mail and the desired items will be pidged to you as soon as possible. Graduate life involves many commitments and it's not rare for people to feel lost or lonely sometimes, so don't feel embarrassed to contact us if you have any additional problems or questions. We are very approachable and can be reached quite easily. (For further contact details for Nicole and Lefteris, see the Welfare Officers page.) Other MCR Contacts Food Representative: Margherita Coccia Along with the JCR Food Rep, the MCR Food Rep meets with Chef to represent our gastronomic interests (i.e. tell him what we like and don't like), and hopefully improve the food we get in Hall. If you have any comments or suggestions that you would like passed on to Chef, please email Margherita. Green Representatives: Alexandre Ehler and Rebekah Smith The Green Reps aim to stir up enthusiasm in the MCR for all things environmentally friendly, and represent these interests before College, for example by campaigning for better recycling facilities on the College sites. Please get in touch with them if you have particular ideas for how this might be done. Academic Events Representative: Andrew Johnson The Academic Events Rep liaises with the Social Secretaries to arrange interesting speakers for events such as MCR dinners, and also organises more informal discussion groups with the aim of stimulating more academic event within College. For more information, or to suggest speakers/offer to speak at one of these events, please email Andy. Webmaster: Abi Jonas The webmaster keeps the website up-to-date. Currently not an elected position, and nor is it the same as the 'IT officer' described in the Constitution! But if you have any comments or suggestions relating to the website, please email Abi. |
