Introducing the committee...
Our Women’s rep Sophie! Hi, I’m Sophie! I’m a second-year Chemistry student and the JCR Women’s Officer. I support a wonderful community of women at Magdalen, for anyone whose identity includes female. I organise Gender Equali-Teas, share information on women-related events and gender activism to the JCR, and work to ensure that all women at Magdalen are supported, including those facing the consequences of violence, harassment, discrimination or period poverty. In my spare time, I can normally be found drinking coffee with friends, running an event for a university society, or heading to a gig down the road.

Introducing the committee...
Our OKB (Old Kitchen Bar) rep, Jacob! Hi, I’m Jacob, a third-year physicist from Perth in Scotland. As the JCR’s OKB rep I am responsible for organising bi-weekly bar events known as “Magdalen Mondays”, these include karaoke and magic nights. In addition to this, I also represent the student body by communicating its views on the development of food and bar services to college. I can normally be found around the Iffley sports centre where I coach the university swimming team and, of course, in the college bar itself.

Introducing the Committee...The voice behind the ‘gram.
It’s me! I’m Eve our college’s Access and Admission rep... and clearly the only committee member to not have photos of themselves in lovely Oxford scenery. I’m in charge of Magdalen’s outreach which means working with schools across Nottingham (where I’m from!) South Yorkshire and Westminster to help students who might apply to Oxford and organise our lovely college ambassadors. It’s basically my job to show people that Magdalen is a community for everyone. I also run our Open Days and interview periods so you’re likely to bump into me if you’re thinking of applying! In my free time I can be found beggin people to feature on the college insta xx

The second one is happening this Saturday (23/05) at 4pm here: https://youtu.be/I6XgphzQQxw. It is focused on scientific subjects. If you already have some questions for this Q&A, you can submit them on this form: https://forms.gle/p4XEE3eKo7hpLdfp9. Otherwise, you can simply ask them live on Saturday! If you would like them to cover a specific theme for future Q&As, you can also make a request in the form mentioned above.
We are looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!

Living in college is one of the most special parts

Living in college is one of the most special parts of your Oxford experience. Here’s a little look around some of our accommodation- no two rooms are the same in Magdalen!
Some stats:
- over 90% of accommodation has a basin
- just under a quarter are en suite (more on their way too!)
- 24% have a sitting room/ study aswell as a bedroom
