COMMITTEE

PRESIDENT

Digby Gough-Boyack, 3rd year Archaeology & Anthropology

Hello! I’m Digby and your JCR President for 2025. My aim for this JCR is to support better communication and understanding between the college and students, and try to solve the problems of its members. I am a second year Archaeology and Anthropology student, so when I am not in a hole digging for old pots you can always find me around college in the hall or DTB. If you have any questions or concerns please send me a message!

Hey everyone! My name is Sonia and I am the JCR Treasurer for this year. I am really looking forward to ensuring everyone in the JCR is heard and that I do my best to manage our funds with responsibility and creativity.

SECRETARY

Erin Adlard, 3rd year Human Sciences

Hello, I’m Erin! I’m taking on the role of Secretary this year, so it’s my job to keep the JCR affairs running smoothly. I minute our meetings, keep the Standing Orders orderly, help run elections, and generally tend to administrative matters. I hope to make the day-to-day organisation of our lovely JCR members as easy and stress-free as possible, so please reach out if there is any way I might be able to help—if I can’t, it’s also my job to know who can.

FEMALE WELFARE

Esme Gutch, 2nd year English

Hello! I’m Esme and I’m your female welfare officer for this term. As your welfare officers, Robin and I are keen to help make Hertford feel like a friendly, supportive and safe place for students, from facilitating welfare teas to always being around for a chat and signposting you to other college welfare support that you might also need. Please feel free to get in touch with either of us at any time! We are also in charge of distributing welfare supplies, liaising with college welfare, and running lots of fun welfare events to help you unwind a bit from Oxford’s madness.

I’d love to hear everyone’s input on these issues, so if you have any concerns or questions please feel free to reach out!

FOOD AND HOUSING

Laura Nicholson, 3rd year English

Hey, I’m Laura, and I’m so excited to be your Food and Housing officer for this year. My main job is to be a point of communication between you and the catering and accommodation teams, so please reach out if you have any questions or concerns! When I’m not arguing dramatically and loudly about English in the Hertford Library, you can usually find me running miles around the Christ Church meadows, causing a scene DTB, or downing coffee in Blackwells. Feel free to drop me a message any time 🙂

SPORT

Alice Ledzion, 3rd year Geography

Hi, I’m Alice and I’m your Sports Officer for 2025! I take my role as Sports Officer to be in charge of ensuring that sport is the best it can be for everyone in the college. This involves getting people down to support games, distributing the Blues fund to support university-level athletes and organising events such as Sports Formals. Through the many sports I’ve dabbled in, both at college and university level I’ve found it an excellent way to meet new people and take my mind off of academic work for a little while. If you have any questions about sport at Hertford or uni-wide, I’m happy to chat so please email or message me!

If you have any concerns or questions regarding your academic life (tutorial scheduling, tutor feedback, exams, stress, etc.) please send me an email and I’ll be sure to help you out. I’m also your channel to raise suggestions for improvement of Hertford’s academic facilities, e.g. the library.
