What I am most looking forward to in 2020 at College: With the incoming fResher cohort making up nearly 50% of the College community, I believe this provides a significant platform for change. Working with the amazing House Comm of 2020, I’m excited about the opportunities to create new traditions whilst at the same time, upholding the treasured aspects and unique culture of this college that is adored. Additionally, I am excited about the Thyne Reid Link, and to watch how the new facilities will enrich the Andrew’s experience.

What I hope to achieve in the House Committee in 2020: In my position of Intercol representative, along with my partner Jonny Downes, our goal is to strengthen the intercollegiate community through coordinating more informal events and strengthening the communication between the colleges. We hope to maintain the successful intercollegiate events such as City2Surf whilst introducing new ideas beneficial to all within the community. As Intercol Rep, I am excited to coordinate the 2020 Welcome Week program to ensure that the incoming fResher cohort has an irreplaceable Andrew’s Welcome Week experience.

Advice for 2020 freshers: Your Andrew’s experience comes down to what you make of it, so make sure that you throw yourself into as many aspects of College life as you can.
