Sports and Societies: Amit Ramakrishna Prasad

Hey! I'm Amit (he/him), and I'm a second year engineer and your new Sports and Societies Officer. I have a horrible habit of doing anything to avoid going to lectures, to the point of missing ¾ of Michaelmas term and I prefer to go out on caffeine instead of alcohol. I hope to make societies and sports more easily accessible and lead Corpus Cambridge to victory against O*ford in the Corpus challenge.

Welfare: Julia Sinkinson

Hi, I’m Julia (she/her), a 3rd year geographer, and I’m one of the welfare officers! Fun facts about me are that I’m constantly talking about how much I miss my cat at when I’m at uni, in my opinion corpus brunch is the highlight of the week every week, and multiple times I have been caught pretending to do work in the taylor and actually playing moshi monsters. I hope to be a friendly face to everyone in college, I’ll bring the best selection of snacks to the parteas and keep the sexual health supplies well stocked, and I’m always up for a chat! :)

(jcr-welfare2@corpus.cam.ac.uk)

Feel free to drop me a message if you fancy a chat about literally anything, chances are I’ll be procrastinating on my phone anyways :)

Gender Equalities: Maisie Johnson

Maisie (she/her) - A Swiftie and a Star Wars enthusiast!?! This gender equalities officer does it all.

LGBTQ+: Harley Chidley

Hey guys, gals and non-binary pals - I’m Harley (they/them). I’m the LGBTQ+ Officer on the JCR as well as a 2nd year law student at Corpus, but I promise I’m a lot cooler than my course. Proof of which is seen in my impeccable style in which I have managed to pull off my infamous white crocs all around college, in every given scenario, almost always. I’m rarely caught not wearing them so I’m not that hard to miss. I even rocked them at a Robinson formal once… wasn’t my finest moment either. Apart from that, my favourite hobby is probably going to concerts - so far I’ve been fortunate enough to see Harry Styles, Mitski, Declan McKenna, Alfie Templeman, Sam Fender, Sam Smith, Lewis Capaldi and - possibly my biggest flex - Coldplay! On a more serious note, the reason I decided to run for this role is because Corpus is the first environment I’ve been enabled to authentically express my identity and felt welcomed to do so. Working as part of the Liberation team in the committee feels like an honour and a privilege where I can effectively give back to the community which has made me feel so safe and appreciated. Importantly, I hope to offer LGBTQ+ individuals spaces to hang out, have fun, and seek help if ever they need it :) Slay xoxo

Ethnic Minorities: Saira Ahmed

Hello people!! My name's Saira and i'm a second year Classicist :) I'm going to be the Ethnic minorities officer in michaelmas, so I hope I do a good job at creating a welcoming environment for any incoming Ethnic minorities. In my spare time, other than lamenting over having to actually do my degree, I usually bother my friends into entertaining me. I'm an avid cartoon watcher and can talk about adventure time until the end of time. If you ever see me around im either thinking about that or listening to sza or maybe even both. But anyways, if you guys have any questions or concerns or just wanna talk about your fav tv shows Im always happy to listen :p

If you have a disability, I’m the one who represents you to the college and can signpost the relevant college and university services. That’s about it. And I’ve been told to include a fun fact… I’ve held some video game world records? I write poetry? I can speak about 5 phrases of Cornish? Neurodivergency - when you don’t know if a fact is fun :)
