About the Common Room

Welcome to Linacre College Common Room! Here you will find all the information you will ever need regarding social life at Linacre. If you're new at Linacre, and to keep up to date with social events at Linacre and in the wider Oxford graduate community, you can:

Unlike other Oxford colleges, Linacre does not segregate fellows, staff and students off from one another. Instead, all members of Linacre share the same common room in college and are all automatically also members of the Common Room, the decision making body that looks after all of our interests.

Common Room activities are managed by a group of volunteers elected by members. Find a CR rep and get in touch, or just mail your friendly Common Room president directly.

Sports and Recreation Secretary - Alexandria Hall

My role is to co-ordinate the various sports teams and societies available at Linacre. If you want to start a new club, or join an existing one, send me an email, or catch me in the Common Room. I'm always looking for new ways to improve our sports and recreation facilities, so if you have any suggestions, or want to get more involved please let me know.

Social Secretaries - Kian Mintz-Woo and Rosa Krogh

As Social Secretaries our role is to make your time at Linacre a memorable one and to organise events that the whole CR body would be interested in. At Linacre we love a good party and are infamous for the post-event swimming on the grounds, so feel free to join in with any event and rest assured, although Linacre is a close and comfortable group, you will never come across a more welcoming bunch.

To ensure that all events will bring the best level of joy and entertainment to all of you, we feel it is important to put together a really varied term card, and are open to all suggestions. If you have any ideas of events that you are interested in, or that could bring the Fellows and student bodies closer together too, any nature walks, museum tours, city day trips, and even camping trips that you feel Linacrites should experience together, let us know.

My role is to organize and run the Common Room's charitable activities. This includes collections, sponsored runs, local volunteering, quizzes, parties and the legendary "Auction of Promises" in freshers' week. Funds that are raised through CR events are donated to charities that are particularly important to CR members. This includes charities founded by members, local charities and charities relevant to members' research. I'm always looking for new and worthwhile charities to organise events for so please contact me if there is a certain one you think could benefit from CR activities.
