If you have any suggestions, concerns, questions, or criticisms – whether it be personal to you or more general, of any aspects of graduate life at St. Anne’s – please do not hesitate to contact relevant committee members. Alternatively, you can bring forward any issues or proposals you have to one of our regular MCR General Meetings.

The full MCR committee is elected annually at the start of the year in Michaelmas (first) Term, while the President and Treasurer are elected at the end of the academic year in Trinity (third) term. Even if you are studying at St Anne’s for one year (or longer), you can contribute to graduate student life by joining the MCR committee in whichever position suits you best!
