JCR

Welcome back to campus

On behalf of the JCR Executives, I warmly welcome you to one of the most prestigious traditional Halls of residence on campus. We are excited to have you join the largest traditional hall and hope you do enjoy your stay here. All residence students in the Hall are members of the Junior Common Room (JCR) headed by the President alongside an executive body. We are committed to ensuring that your residential experience is enriching and socially and academically fulfilling.  

We will be present during the welcome week and beyond, to assist and address your residential needs as well as ensure that you achieve the most out of your time on campus. Feel free to approach us with your concerns. Please be updated on happenings in the Hall by joining the JCR WhatsApp page and regularly checking the Hall’s website. 

I extend my best wishes to you for a remarkable semester, and I look forward to meeting each one of you! We have the power to create space for greatness in the Viking Way!
