Welcome to Keble JCR!
Upon arriving at Keble, every undergraduate automatically becomes a member of the JCR. The JCR exists to represent the wants and needs of the students, negotiate and work with college so to best secure them, and to guarantee that Keble remains a fantastic place to be a student.
The JCR is also the hub of undergraduate life at Oxford. It provides its members with most of the facilities that they will regularly use outside of their studies.
JCR Meetings are held every week in the JCR after Sunday dinner at 8:30pm and they are the centre of all student politics and actions in Keble. Whether you are looking to change the constitution to make the JCR work better or hoping to gain financial support for an activity or charity – this is the place to go to. There is also a gratuitous amount of free food.
The JCR Committee is the group of elected undergraduates who manage the day-to-day running of the JCR, representing it to both the College and University. They are responsible for passing motions, organising all events put on by the JCR, and working with college to represent the needs and wants of the undergraduates. It is without doubt the most rewarding student body to get involved with around Keble and Oxford.
BOPs, or Big Open Parties, are thrown by the JCR throughout the year. These are usually the biggest college events of each term, organised by the Entertainment Officers.
Keble Arts Festival is an annual week long celebration of the arts in and around Keble. Run by the Arts and Publications Officers, the festival aims to bring everyone in Keble together around our vibrant artistic community as well as showcase Keble to the rest of the university and world.
There are also a huge number of other activities that the JCR is involved with such as:
- Christmas Panto
- Halfway Hall
- Open Mic Nights
- Black Tie Dinners
- Welfare Teas and Walks
- PuntingÂ
- Petting Zoos
- And much more!
So if you like the sound of all of this and want to find out how to get involved, please come along to a JCR Meeting or contact one of the Committee members!
