Committee

The MCR com­mit­tee con­sists of fel­low stu­dents elect­ed by the MCR to rep­re­sent the post­grad­u­ate community’s inter­ests in col­lege and the uni­ver­si­ty. We put on fun par­ties and inter­est­ing speak­ers and help make sure every­thing runs smooth­ly. Cor­pus is a very well-fund­ed MCR, mean­ing we have a great bud­get for run­ning events and many oppor­tu­ni­ties to make your pas­sion a real­i­ty here.
