The Current GCR Committee
Hilary-Trinity Term 2025
Any member of the GCR may stand in elections to become part of the GCR Committee - a democratically elected group of individuals who foster community through a range of offerings and thus significantly shape the spirit of the College and your time at Oxford.
The GCR Committee comprises Executive members and Officers. The GCR Constitution delineates specific responsibilities and functions for Executive members; they meet during Executive meetings. Committee meetings, on the other hand, serve as forums where all Committee members convene to discuss various matters. Both Executive and Committee meetings are held in the Combined Common Room.
Here you can find the current committee members!
