Welfare

Life as a post­grad­u­ate stu­dent can be hec­tic and at times intense, but Cor­pus has a very good sup­port sys­tem in place for any­thing you may need. Whether that’s help switch­ing super­vi­sors, advice on the best den­tist, or just some­one to talk to, there are numer­ous avenues through which you can get sup­port. The MCR Com­mit­tee has two wel­fare offi­cers, an LGBTQ+ offi­cer, an inter­na­tion­al stu­dents offi­cer and an eth­nic diver­si­ty offi­cer. These com­mit­tee mem­bers plan fun events, and they are always avail­able to talk one-on-one should you need it. The MCR also has a part­ners & fam­i­lies’ offi­cer, who helps make sure part­ners of MCR mem­bers feel wel­come at Cor­pus. Through Col­lege, you can speak to your Grad­u­ate Tutor or the Dean of Chapel, and there are plen­ty of resources avail­able through the Grad­u­ate Union and the Uni­ver­si­ty.

Ethnic Diversity

Please use the MCR Racial Harass­ment Form to anony­mous­ly report any inci­dents of racial harass­ment, whether large or small: https://forms.gle/Tf6vUPNGGY7HfA457

This form will be used to under­stand the preva­lence and form of racial harass­ment with­in the Col­lege com­mu­ni­ty and to devel­op bet­ter sup­port, and poten­tial report­ing sys­tems, for these inci­dents. It serves as an oppor­tu­ni­ty to start the con­ver­sa­tion about the preva­lence of racism at Cam­bridge, whether it is implic­it or explic­it, actions or words.

Sexual Health

Free sex­u­al health sup­plies and fem­i­nine hygiene prod­ucts are avail­able from the box­es in the toi­lets in Leck­hamp­ton House and the cup­boards in the MCR. If the sup­plies have run out or you have any oth­er queries feel free to let the Wel­fare Team know via e‑mail (see Com­mit­tee).

Key College Officers and Graduate Tutors
