- Join the Finance Committee
Would you like to have a say in financial issues in college? If so, a
position on the JCR Finance Committee might be right for you. On the
committee you would help the JCR Treasurer in the creation of the budget
for next year, as well as distribution of funds for the Monica Kornberg
sporting awards. The committee only needs to meet a couple of times so
it isn't a huge amount of work and it looks really good on a CV.
If you are interested, or have any questions about what the role
entails, please email apw56@cam.ac.uk as soon as possible.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: FRIDAY 30th JANUARY

So if you are interested in Environment/Fairtrade/Recycling/SAVING THE
WORLD please send a quick email to your Green Officer...Mr Brendan "I Love
The World" Laing (bjl40).
