Welcome to St Aidan's JCR CIO
Congratulations and Welcome to all incoming students!
A message from the JCR President:
Congratulations on being allocated St Aidan’s. We are so excited for you to join us and become a fellow Aidanite. I’m Emily and I will be your JCR President this year. My time as a student at Durham has been so positively framed by my involvement and experiences with the JCR. The JCR is a community which you will make lifelong friends and memories in. We are so happy to have you with us and I sincerely hope you have an amazing time! I really urge you to make the most of everything Aidan’s has to offer. The JCR (Junior Common Room) is a huge part of life at Aidan’s, and honestly, one of the best things about being here. It’s both the physical space (kind of like a big, shared living room) and the student community that organises a plethora of events and activities to make your time at Aidan’s both memorable and enjoyable. From sports teams and societies to balls, and a fashion show, the JCR is where so much of the fun happens. There is something for everyone and if there isn’t yet, you can start something new! This is your chance to get involved, meet new people, and try new sports and societies. Please feel free to contact me at anytime if you have any sort of queries or worries. You can contact me using social media or just come and find me in college and I'll try my best to help you in any way I can. I'd also recommend joining the Aidans Overheard (SA JCR) Facebook page for a range of updates on college life and JCR democracy.
I look forward to meeting you all in September! - Emily Martin, St Aidan's JCR CIO President 2025/2026
