Grizedale College - Past JCR Presidents and Vice Presidents

Past JCR Presidents and Vice Presidents

Grizedale, like many of her sister colleges; has found redevelopment and inconsistent Presidencies a major cause for concern. In 2009 reform was passed through the student union to allow the Vice-President to sit alongside the President in Union Council, the senior student council.

All Presidents sit on both Senate and Court, only two of the nine college Vice-Presidents who are elected as Senate representatives through Academic Council, may also hold full seats on both Senate and Court. This role is completely autonomous from their College role and as such may mandate their Presidents should a vote be requested on Court matters.

All members of the Executive sit on Student Union sub-committees including: President's Committee Vice-President's Committee }both sit on UnionCouncil, Extrav Sub etc. Academic Council Chair Committee/Elections Sub-committee Wel-Comm Inter College Sport i.e. George Wyatt

Grizedale College has proven itself to be a powerful college in the transition of JCR Executive Presidents to the Student Union with Chris Cottam, Graeme Poulton and Dwayne Branch all successfully running for office. In Summer term of 2009 former social secretary Victoria (Torri) Crapper was elected Vice President for Welfare in the new LUSU Sabbatical make-up. In 2010 former President Chaz Ginn and former VP Paul Lynch were candidates for the Welfare and Academic Vice-Presidencies, but both lost in close elections. Grizedale prides itself on the activism of its members, with the former bar depicting the storming of University House in an elaborate mural that lined the stairs to the JCR space. It is expected that once restored to its former glory, the college will once again be one of the most politically vocal on the Campus.
