Nicole
Hi! I’m Nicole (she/her) and I’m a first year studying HSPS. My role as President involves leading the JCSU in representing the student body, sitting on various committees including College Council, and being a point of contact between students and staff. I'm dedicated to making the JCSU an effective force for helping every student have a great time at Jesus. Always feel free to send me a message via email or FB messenger! Alternatively, come by the JCR during my weekly drop-ins if you have a suggestion, complaint, or just want to chat.
Esther
Hi, I’m Esther! (she/her) I’m a second year studying Land Economy, and I’m your VP for this year! My role is typically split into five main areas: stash, Halfway Hall, Jesus/Jesus varsity, CSU council, and careers events. If you’d ever like a motion to be raised on your behalf to the CSU (Cambridge Student Union), then feel free to email me or get in touch via Messenger. This year, I’d love to diversify the functions of the VP, so if you ever have any questions/queries for me specifically or about the JCSU generally - feel free to get in touch! It’s really important that all students feel heard, and I’m always happy to help as and when I can!

John
Hi I'm John Jessop (he/him) I'm a first year engineer and I'm the JCSU secretary this year. Essentially my role boils down to being the committee's admin man. It's my job to write the agendas, and minutes, and to advise on the constitution. I'm also the point of contact for JCSU affiliated societies and clubs. That's what my role technically entails but I'm happy to help anyone with anything JCSU related so don't hesitate to get in touch :)

I want you to see me as a friendly face around college who is always open to having a chat (welfare specific or informally). As one of your Welfare officers, it is my duty to create a welcoming and supportive environment, prioritising your wellbeing through events and open conversations. Not only can I help you as an individual, but I will also help to bridge the gap between you and college’s Welfare provisions (DoS, Welfare Tutors) or wider services (the University, external organisations). If you ever need anything, then feel free to message me via FB Messenger or my email. :)

Finally, I just want to provide a friendly face around college, so if you ever fancy a chat just say hi!
