CR Executive Team

President: Jacob Brandler

Hello and welcome to the Common Room's webpages! My name is Jacob and I serve as the CR President. As a student at Oxford, I'm a DPhil candidate in history working on the exclusive nature of equality and what it means to be "human" in the 1830s to 1850s United States. While I am happy to have a chat about my research (and even more keen to learn about yours), my role here is to coordinate the work of the CR committee, represent the Common Room to the College, and generally support Common Room members the best I can to enhance the Linacre experience. We have a great team! So feel free to reach out to them or me with questions, suggestions, or concerns. For me, my email is cr.president@linacre.ox.ac.uk

Welfare and Equality Officer: Ollie Spacey (and Vacant) 

I’m Ollie, a 1st year DPhil student from Nottinghamshire, on the Doctoral Training Partnership in Environmental Research. Specifically, I study the ecology of mistletoe, the parasitic plants people often associate with winter holidays. I was a Welfare Rep at St Catherine’s College during my undergraduate degree where I trained as a Peer Supporter and Rainbow Peer, and now I’m your Welfare and Equality Officer. I oversee student welfare and equality at Linacre by directly supporting students, organising welfare events and advocating for equal opportunities within the college. Please get in touch if you have any welfare-related questions or concerns:)"

Welfare officers are always happy to discuss your concerns in confidentiality and guide you to resources and services that may be useful for you. The officers’ duties are to organise Student lead welfare provision, provide information to members, and advocate for individuals/groups within the college. Together, they plan different events with the aim of creating safe spaces to relax in a friendly, inclusive and supportive environment. If you have a suggestion, need help, or just want to talk to someone, please do not hesitate to drop them an email at cr.welfare@linacre.ox.ac.uk

Social Secretaries: Alexander Hussain, Sara Matijevic, Mia Whitefield ​       

                                            
The Social Secretaries’ role is to make your time at Linacre a memorable one. The position is normally held by three enthusiastic Linacrites - though, presently, Sophia Ungermann is helming it alone. Their job is to organise the social life in college, to make your time at Linacre a sociable and memorable one and help balance your work and studies with a vibrant social college life. They are the people who bring you our famous termly bops, which are among the largest student-run parties throughout the University, including our notorious and much envied Matriculation Bop, Sexy Sub Fusc. They are the link with other colleges’ MCRs and organise several exchange events every term to bring the graduate community from across the University closer. If you have any ideas for events that you would like to see, get in touch at cr.social@linacre.ox.ac.uk. To keep up to date with social events at Linacre and the wider Oxford graduate community, join the Linacre CR Facebook page (for current members only)!
