The MCR at St Hilda’s brings together a diverse and vibrant graduate student community, both academically and socially. Every graduate student at St Hilda’s automatically becomes a member of the MCR upon joining the College, unless they choose to opt out.
The MCR Committee is elected by and from the student body. Its purpose is to foster a strong sense of community, support academic and social life, and ensure that the voice of graduate students is represented in the life of the College. The Committee’s work includes:
- Representing graduate students on College committees and making sure student feedback and concerns are heard in College decision-making.
- Organising a wide range of social events such as bops, formal dinners, bar nights, game evenings, film screenings, and seasonal celebrations.
- Supporting academic life through initiatives such as reading groups, discussion forums, and peer-led workshops.
- Promoting student well-being, offering a network of support and connection.
- The MCR Committee is here to make your time at St Hilda’s rewarding, engaging, and memorable. Committee members are democratically elected, and there are opportunities to stand for election throughout the year.

Alyx Hutcheon – Welfare Officer and Environment Officer
Hello! I am a second-year DPhil in Biology, and one of your MCR Welfare Officers. When I’m not rowing or chasing lions in Namibia, I provide welfare support to our lovely MCR, alongside the community at St Peter’s College in a welfare-focussed Junior Dean role.
Whether you’re looking for a friendly face to chat to, someone to craft with, or some help finding the right welfare support within College or the wider University, I’m always happy to help. Please feel free to get in touch if you fancy a chat, a cuppa, or both!
I am also continuing in my role as Environment Representative, and would love to hear your ideas for making St Hilda’s greener and improving sustainability across college!
Adam Wood – Welfare Officer
I am a third year DPhil student in Condensed Matter Physics. As Welfare Officer I can help with signposting to the different services provided by the college and in Oxford more generally. Feel free to get in contact if you'd like to talk to someone more informally about any issues you might be facing!
