Executive Committee

President: Jian Dong

Jian Dong

From start of Trinity Term 2010 through to the end of Hilary Term 2011, 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 the Lincoln JCR and MCR Presidents of other Oxford colleges to assure Lincoln MCR is well represented within the University.

Within the MCR, I organise, advise and support the MCR Student Executive and Committee, chair MCR meetings, and work for the general welfare of all members.



Treasurer: Asgeir Birkisson

Asgeir Birkisson

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: Anne-Clair Michoux

Anne-Clair Michoux

A secretary must think like a man, act like a lady, look like a girl Ð and work like a dog.Ó In tribute to Mad Men's Joan Harris, I make sure we follow the rules of the office: my official role is to minute all MCR meetings, publish the discussion for all members to see, and ensure we follow the constitution. 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.



Non-Executive Committee

Welfare: Mark Petersen and Marlena Whiting

Mark Petersen Marlena Whiting

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, and we're always happy to meet and talk (with Mark's ukulele in tow if required!).

(For further contact details for Mark Petersen and Marlena Whiting, see the Welfare Officers page.)



Freshers' Rep: Chris Armstrong

Chris Armstrong

In this newly-created committee position, I am here to represent the interests of students on one-year graduate courses. Recognising our time here is brief, I am here to help deal with issues that arise during that year. I am also able to liase with other MCR members and the College to ensure that we get the best experience of Lincoln possible.

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. A summary of available recycling facilities is available on the Green and Environment page of this site, along with current plans for how the MCR hopes to improve matters. Please get in touch with Richard (EPA site) or Susie (Bear Lane site) if you have particular ideas relating to green issues in College.

Ball Rep: Tim Funnell

Tim Funnell

Lincoln College puts on a ball once every two years, with the next one scheduled for summer 2010. The Ball Committee is usually primarily made up of JCR members, but to ensure we get our say in what gets planned, this new position has been created. The Ball Rep will sit on the Ball committee and liaise with the JCR in planning this event, so if you have any great ideas or want to get involved, get in contact with Tim.

Academic Events Rep: Dmitrij Lisak
