2022/23 Committee
Harrison Kaye (he/him)
President
Chinese
Hey! I’m Harrison and I’m the JCR President for this year. I’ve spent the last year studying in Taiwan and now I’m coming into my third year ready to lead the JCR committee and welcome you to Pembroke. My main roles are to oversee everything that’s going on within the JCR and to provide a link between the student and staff community. There’s loads of exciting things going on in the JCR this year so you’ll probably see me around working to make it all run smoothly. If you need any kind of support but aren’t sure where to start or who to speak to, I’ll be here to help you out and point you in the right direction. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and making sure you have a great time at Pembroke!
Miles Robson (he/him)
Vice President
English
Hi, my name is Miles and I’m the incumbent JCR Vice President. It’s my role to engage with the student community, mainly through formal events, an awful lot of emails, and (most importantly) our JCR meetings. JCR meetings are what give the student community the power to make changes to life in college, and all sorts of motions are tabled. I’ll be hosting these meetings on Sundays fortnightly in the JCR, so be sure to drop in, and if you have a motion in mind, I’m the one to talk to!
Lucia Henwood (she/her)
Academic & Suspended Student Rep
History & Economics
Hi, I’m Lucia and I’m the incoming Academic Rep. My role involves co-ordinating with subject reps, sitting on the Academic Committee to give JCR feedback to the rest of college and best of all organising University Challenge trials and practice! I've also got some plans for new events with the MCR and SCR next year as well as more mentoring opportunities and study skills sessions. If you have any concerns, questions or feedback about academic issues, I should be able to help or point you in the direction of someone who can!

Hi, I’m Imee and I’m the incoming Communications Rep. This means I’ll be managing the JCR website, the instagram page and editing the Pink Times - Pembroke’s very own publication.

Ayeza Akhtar (she/her)
Racial & Ethnic Minorities (REM) rep
Medicine
Hi, I’m Ayeza and I’m Pembroke’s REM rep for this year! This means I’ll be supporting REM students across the college- this includes welfare support and putting on events to celebrate Pembroke’s diversity. Moving to Oxford can be intimidating, especially if you’re from a more diverse area, such as I am (big up manny), so I hope to put on many fun REM events with an emphasis on intercollegiate events to help minority groups connect across the university. Feel free to email/dm/stop me for a chat whenever!

Maxi Grindley (he/him)
Secretary

Heya, I'm Maxi! I'll be your secretary, which basically just means I'll be aggressively filling up your inbox with emails you won't read but sometimes should read. You'll also see me at JCR meetings where I'll be the only person actively encouraged to be on their phone throughout in order to minute the meetings. If you ever need to digitally harass the entire JCR with something vaguely officious, I'm the person you're looking for!”
