…and introducing Chess, the other half of BNC’s Freshers Rep team!!

“Hiya everyone, my name’s Chess and Im a second year Geographer from North London. I’m one of the halves of the Fresher Rep team, along with the incredible Susie. I’m super excited to be meeting all the new freshers and get involved with all things freshers!! If at the end of the year you all feel comfortable and accepted within the Brasenose community I have succeeded in my role, which is the sole reason for me taking on this JCR position. Both Susie and I are always down for a chat, particularly when in need of a library break. We understand how stressful and confusing the first year of university (especially Oxford) can be and we hope to reduce that as much as possible. When not chatting in the Quad or hanging out DTB you can probably find me playing netball or “acting” in one of Oxford’s many drama things. If you have any questions, just ask and both me and Susie are happy to help.”

Introducing 1/2 of our Freshers Rep duo, Susie!!

“Hey everyone, I’m Susie! I’m a second-year English student from Hertfordshire and I can’t wait to be one of your 2 freps (freshers rep) this upcoming year! Chess (my fellow frep) and I are so excited to be working with such a dedicated committee who work so hard looking out for the interests of BNC students. It was the dedication of my freps who made me want to take on the role and ensure to the best of my ability that new students feel as comfortable and supported as possible. Oxford can be an overwhelming place for new students (and everyone) and Chess and I, as well as the whole committee, will do our best to make settling in as easy a process as possible. When I’m not chilling in the BNC library you can find me in one of Oxford’s atmospheric black box theatres or enjoying an aperol somewhere…”

Introducing Veronica, one of your Welfare reps next term!!

“Hi! My name is Veronica (nickname Vero) and I am a second year classicist, originally from Italy but I did my A-levels in the UK. I’m going to be one of the three Welfare Reps this term . I love drawing, especially with watercolour and am a big fan of musicals. Looking forward to meeting all of you!!”

Introducing our new treasurer for the academic yea

Introducing our new treasurer for the academic year, Ren!!

“i’m ren (she/they) and i’m your newly-elected jcr treasurer! i take care of jcr finances, sort out the levies each term (something you’ll become well acquainted with soon), and help make events as accessible as possible. i can often be found in the library (likely distracted, not studying) or wandering the streets of oxford befriending cats. most of what i do is behind the scenes, but i’m always around to answer any questions (or if you would just like to chat)!”

Introducing BNC’s new domestic VP for this acade

Introducing BNC’s new domestic VP for this academic year, Sam!!

“Hi, I'm Sam a 3rd year Medic from Manchester and I'm your VPD for this academic year. I'll be in charge of all things domestic in college from JCR storage to the room ballet and singing process. I also organise Guest nights (arguably the biggest perk of the job). If you have any questions about accommodation or hall food etc please feel free to contact me or stop me in a quad for a chat!!!”
