JCR Team List
Vice President
Madison Howarth
The Vice President deals with the Constitution, the Room Ballot, and the Creative Project Fund. If anyone has any questions as to what is allowed by the JCR's Constitution, I'm the one answering that question, often trying to make the constitution work for everyone within its limits. Also, I announce and receive motions for General Meetings, when we discuss our approach and spending as a JCR. The Room Ballot helps to allocate rooms to 2nd years and above, which I manage by randomly assigning names to numbers, whilst the Creative Project Fund is a great opportunity for Magdalen JCR members to get some money to help them on their creative journey, be it linoprint, violin or photography.

Treasurer
Haobai Chen
As Treasurer, I manage the JCR budget to fund student events, sports, welfare, catering, academic affairs, facilities and charity donations. I process reimbursements, keep track of all transactions, and ensure our spending remains transparent and efficient. In Trinity term, I negotiate budgets with college admin on behalf of undergraduates, making sure student needs are properly funded. If you ever need a reimbursement or have questions about JCR finances, I’m the one to ask!

Arts and Photography Officers
The Arts and Photography team are in charge of the annual Arts Week, taking place in Trinity term. This is a generally very popular crafty week, just before exams kick in. As well as this, the role includes overseeing organising a photographer for bops and JCR events: this photographer can be you, but doesn't need to be!

Charities Officers
As Charities Reps we are responsible for running fundraising events for the two charities that the JCR votes for each year. All funds we raise go towards one national charity and another international charity. We also work with other students in the JCR to support their charitable events and offer support for other fundraising events taking place in the wider college community.
