Assisted the President in running the JCR, representing the undergraduate student body in meetings concerning decisions which significantly affect students. I chaired the Welfare Body meetings and addressed student concerns brought by other JCR members. Additionally, I organised Freshers Week for the incoming students, with a full programme of informational, educational and welfare-orientated events to create a welcoming environment, which took place over 9 days. For this, I organised a team of 17 other JCR officers and managed a large budget. Show less
