Corpus Welfare
Welfare is an integral part of the MCR, and is provided by a Male and Female MCR Welfare Officer. This year those Officers are Peter Darch & Rebekah White. In addition to this more informal welfare support comes from a network of Peer Supporters, throughout the MCR and JCR. Other Peer Supporters can be identified by posters throughout college.Welfare-held events occur throughout term time, including a number of Dessert Nights, Pizza Nights and MCR Brunches on a Sunday morning. These events are generally "drop in" (i.e. you can decide whether to come on the morning/evening), do not feature alcohol, and are a wonderful opportunity to meet other members of the MCR in informal surroundings, for a gossip, moan, or simply some free food. You will be invited to these events, either via a termcard in your pidge, or by email to the MCR mailing list.
Outside of these events, Peter, Rebekah and the Peer Supporters are happy to meet at any time for a coffee, beer or simply just a chat across the dining table in Hall. This can range from something on your mind, to academic problems, to family upheaval. Remember, what may seem like a small problem to one person can be a catastrophe to another, so do not feel that your problem is "too trivial". All the people below can be contacted by phone or by email.

Rebekah White
 | I am in my first year of a DPhil in Experimental Psychology. Before coming to Corpus, I studied Arts/Science at the Australian National University. I'm looking forward to working with Peter to organise scrumdiddlyumptious brunches and other such Welfare fun! As Female Welfare Officer, I am a willing 'sounding board', and available for a chat over a coffee, dinner in hall, or in close proximity to the MCR biscuit jar (thanks Benedicte!).... |

  | I'm the Male Welfare Rep and, like Rebekah, also a first year DPhil student. We aim to provide a service that's as comprehensive as possible, confidential, and completely non-judgmental. Whether you want information about anything to do with welfare or the wide range of services available in Oxford, someone to talk to, or even just to make food requests for the MCR brunches, please feel very welcome to get in touch (my mobile number is 07787536116) |
