Guus Wijnne
JCR President (2025–26)
Jake is a second-year History and Politics student. He was elected as JCR President at the end of Michaelmas term 2025.
I’m Guus, a second-year undergraduate student studying History and Politics here at Teddy! I’m also the JCR’s President for 2025-2026. Most of my friends know me as someone who loves to be involved in a wide range of activities. I’ve taken up rowing, creative writing, badminton, and most recently made my directorial debut with the 2025 Teddy Hall Pantomime. I am excited to be the President of the JCR this year as it allows me to give back to a thriving college that I love so much. Organising the JCR’s clubs, sports teams, committee, events, and funds is an amazing opportunity, and a front-row seat to all the brilliant talent in college!!
In his role as President, Guus’ main responsibility is representing the undergraduate student body to senior members of the College, as well as to various University-wide committees. He also works with the JCR Committee on the organisation of social and welfare activities around College, and is always available to listen to any suggestions or requests, or any other changes the students would like to see to Hall life. If you are a student who wants to effect change, you can contact Guus at jcr.president@seh.ox.ac.uk. You can also (and are encouraged to!) submit motions at one of the three termly general meetings of the JCR, where undergraduates discuss and vote upon motions which decide how College life is organised in the JCR.
