Exeter College MCR

About

"The William Petre Society is an association affiliated with Exeter College that aims to facilitate fruitful interaction between its members, promote the academic interests and the welfare and wellbeing of its members."
- Preamble to the Society's Constitution

The common room is located in Staircase 8 (first room to the left when entering). Entry is via swipe-card access. It also has a small kitchen with tea and coffee, several computers, wireless internet access, a piano, a bathroom, a tutorial room, some lockers and the newspapers and periodicals which are delivered there every morning every day of the week.

The direction of the MCR is provided by the Executive Committee, who are elected every year in the first week of Hilary Term. For people new to the MCR, or generally, to Oxford and Exeter College, we have a fresher’s guide, which will hopefully answer your questions about how things are done here. The graduate welfare reps are there to take care and assist you with any problems that might arise during your stay here. Certain people can apply for associate membership of the MCR, which gives them access to the MCR facilities.

Hey, I’m Laurence and as the MCR president it is my role to ensure the Graduates are represented within College and ensure we continue to provide a welcoming Common Room. Along with other members of the Executive Committee, I attend various meetings around the College and University and raise any concerns of the Graduates.

Hi there, I’m Matthias, and I’m the MCR Sports Officer. My job is to promote participation in sport amongst our student population both within Exeter College and Oxford. College offers a variety of sports, many of which I’ve been involved in, such as Rowing, Rugby, Cricket, Football and Croquet. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you want to get involved!

Alistair Hanson

Domestic Rep

[email protected]

Hello, I’m Alistair, and I’m the Domestic Officer, which primarily is about ensuring the MCR rooms remain a pleasant place to be. I endeavour to stop stuff from breaking, buy new stuff, and allocate the lockers. My background is in history and theology, and I, for now, work in Oxford.
From the Big Gay Party to names for some of the appliances, Exeter continues to have an MCR with idiosyncrasies only possible from it having a spirited graduate body often around College.

Matthias Brickel

Oxford SU Rep

[email protected]

Matthias is in charge of the MCR's dealings with Oxford SU (Oxford University's Student Union). Due to the collegiate nature of Oxford SU is an important integration point for all students to discuss university wide matters, and get cheap sexual health products for welfare.

Alberto Ravani

Equalities Rep

[email protected]

As Equalities Rep, I am the first point of contact for information and advice on issues concerning equality (LGBTQ+, disability, ethnic minorities, etc.) and for anyone worried about discrimination or harassment. I distribute information on university-wide LGBTQ+ events and LGBTQ+ events happening within Exeter College.
I also work closely with the Welfare Officers to organise and run regular events aiming at promoting equality in the MCR, such as the consent workshops. Additionally, we provide various welfare supplies including sexual health products and sanitary products confidentially and completely free of charge to members of the MCR.
My job and interest is to both represent and offer independent support or advice on equality issues. All enquiries are kept in the strictest confidence – please feel free to contact me.
