JCR Committee: Jo Woods

2009–10: Academic and Access Officer

Hey,
I'm Jo, a 1st year BioNatSci, from Manchester. As access officer, my aim is to give prospective students accurate information about life in corpus, and Cambridge as a whole. I plan to fill the freshers section of the JCR website with useful, up-to-date information in order to ease the stresses and worries about coming to university.

Anyone who is interested in helping out with admissions events and access stuff in general, drop me an email. Anyone with academic welfare issues can email me, find me around college or just knock on my door, Botolph 7.
