Executive Committee

Our Executive Committee is made up of 12 Executive Officers, each of whom has a broad area of responsibility that relates to enhancing the student experience at Stephenson College. This ranges from Sports and Societies to Welfare and Events.

All Exec Officers are student volunteers, who stood for election and were voted into office, demonstrating a love for Stevo and dedication to the JCR. The exception is the JCR President, which is a sabbatical role, filled by a recent graduate of Stephenson College. The JCR President is a full time employed role, leading the JCR and directing their activities.
