  • Scrutinised Long Manifestos - Tt20 (2Nd Election)
    SCRUTINISED LONG MANIFESTOS - TT20 (2ND ELECTION) CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT Amy Gregg (Ex-Treasurer, Exeter College ) - Candidate for President-Elect - Long Manifesto The Union has had significant setbacks in the last few years. I did not intend to run this term, but it is clear that the Union needs a President who has the experience and the capability to set it back on the right course. The Union can do so much better, and the Union must do so much better. As an undergraduate, I was President of the Cambridge Union. During this time I ran a record-setting membership drive, managed a £100,000 budget, and hosted over thirty speakers including Stephen Fry, Quentin Blake and Moazzam Begg. After leaving Cambridge I was a trainee solicitor at a Magic Circle Law firm, and I now hold an offer for a pupillage to be a barrister. I have real world experience which I can use to improve our Union as well. I previously served on committee for 7 terms. In this time I arranged 5 debates, including confirming 5/6 speakers for the Comedy debate. I ran Debates, Panels and Speaker events, confirmed multiple speakers and chaired the Union’s largest committee. I also spent over 50 days of vacation working for the Union and made 3 winning paper speeches. As Treasurer I secured 29 debate Floor Prizes, 12 New Treasurer’s Treats and coordinated sponsorship from a major Scholarship fund - ensuring transparency by publishing the audited accounts on the app. This demonstrates that I have the ability to run the Union, but it also made me realise: the Union needs real change - change only an experienced President can bring.

  • From the JCR
    From the JCR Issy Stephens, a Chemistry student in her third year at St John’s and a member of the Steering Group, gives an update on how the JCR has been championing women’s issues 40 years ago the first handful of women joined the Junior Common Room of St John's College. Following those trailblazers that entered a man's world, a lot has changed for the life of women in the JCR. We now have a designated Women’s Officer who makes sure that life is no more expensive for women at St John's than it is for men. This includes providing free monthly bags of sanitary products and reimbursements for pregnancy tests. Environmental issues are important to the student body of St John’s, so all sanitary products are organic. The Women’s Officer also organises fortnightly women's lunches, and a recent JCR motion has made all free lunches in college vegetarian to minimise our impact on the planet. The catering team have really responded to this and the variety of vegan and vegetarian meals has increased exponentially. There are, of course, men's lunches too! On 21st February many members of the JCR attended the annual Women's Dinner, which celebrates all the women of St John’s. It was a special event with an incredible atmosphere with different women from all walks of life coming together. In sport, our women's teams have gone from strength to strength. The last time St John's women's football team was seen in the Cuppers final was 2008.
