As Welfare officer I want to make the BA community an inclusive space where everyone feels safe to part take in. I aim to organize regular events that help BAs to destress, forget their problems for a while and be able to socialize and meet new people. Also, I aim to provide assistance to BAs with some of the problems commonly faced by postgrads.

Ents Officer
Jackson HartiganHowdy! I'm Jackson, an MPhil student in History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine. I'm hoping to put together a whole lot of events with year, including some live music, joint events with other colleges, and of course, plenty of opportunities to explore the Cambridge food and pub scene. Feel welcome to reach out to me with ideas for new events, or if you're interested in helping run one yourself!
Access and Disabilities Officer
Adam ColemanAs the BA Committee representative for disabled students, my role is to advocate on behalf of those who would comfortably define themselves as such while trying to encourage a greater, cross-college awareness of the nature and requirements of specific disabilities. As the first representative to hold this portfolio, my ultimate ambition is to establish the disabled students’ interest as a distinct interest, as a unified body of opinion deserving serious consideration. To this end, optimally in co-ordination with the TCSU disabilities representative, I shall be organising events over the coming year, both in order to build a sense of community and to make our presence felt in college.
I am now a second-year doctoral student in nineteenth-century intellectual history, specialising on the histories of liberalism, democracy, and nationalism in Irish, French, British, and American contexts. My interests include reading, writing, running, and urban
Environmental Officer
Jason BrownI am a Computer Science PhD student with an MEng in Computer and Information Engineering. My topic of study is AI Safety, with an interest in the existential-risk component of it. I'm also interested in protecting the environment, and mitigating extreme climate change. Recreationally I love to rock climb, play guitar badly, program in Rust or Haskell, and learn Maths.
Computing Officer
Ralph McDougallHello! I am a second-year PhD student in Engineering and I am your Computing Officer! I manage the BA Society's digital infrastructure, from the bulletin to the social media pages amongst other things. I hope to make it easier for BAs to find all the information they need about our events, and access the resources made available by college. I'm looking forward to meeting you all around college!
