My position also includes being a point of contact for Bowland College members regarding any of the topics above. I am able to signpost anyone with any issues relating to wellbeing etc. to the appropriate support. My main goal within this position is to put on fun, useful and inclusive events while also acting as a friendly face among the Bowland community.

Hi I’m Luke and I’m one of the Welfare Officers for Bowland! This year I intend on delivering bi- weekly events to cater to all students in the college, offering signposting sessions for students who need help as well as training all freshers reps to ensure a successful fresher’s week for all! If anyone has any suggestions for events they would like us to run/campaigns to promote or even if you just want to chat about anything please feel free to contact us!

Equality Representative – Lauren Cross
Hi, I’m Lauren and I’m the new Equality Representative. This year I aim to help make Bowland as fair and inclusive as possible. I will be working with the welfare team to hold bi-weekly events with plenty of free food and activities. Can’t wait to see you all there!
Female Sports Representative – Laura Dawson
I’m one of the two sports reps this year and I am a first year studying French and Chinese. I have three main roles as sports rep: supporting the captains of all the Bowland College sports teams; organising Founders; and encouraging all members of the college to get involved in sport whether that be just recreational or at college or university level. My main priority as sport’s rep is to encourage as many people to get involved in different sports as possible. I truly believe that there is a sport for everybody, it’s just a case of having the opportunity to have a go. Hopefully this year by putting on a range of college taster sessions we can get loads more people enjoying sport.
Male Sports Representative – Lewis Corrick
Hi I’m Lewis and I am your Male Sports Representative. I am hoping to achieve better publicity for our current sports teams and improve general inclusion in the Carter Shield events from all our college members. In addition, I am also looking forward to organising our annual Founders’ series vs Lonsdale, which I hope will be an enjoyable and inclusive weekend of activities. A win for Bowland would be a bonus too!
Socials and Events Representatives –
Martha Lloyd, Stuart Fraser, Calvin Coffey
Hi, we’re Calvin, Martha and Stuart and we’re your Bowland Social and Events team for 2019! We organise a bi-weekly quiz, bar crawls, the winter ball and a range of other events. We want to make this year’s events as good as possible, and we welcome any feedback/ideas to improve or create new events, which you can send to us via email. We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully seeing you at this year’s events!
Communications Representative – Kerry Bolland
Hi, I'm Kerry, I am the Communications Representative for this year. That means I get to run all of the social media platforms for the college, so if you ever message one of the platforms you'll probably end up talking to me! And if there are typos in posts or messages that'll be me as well, sorry in advance

Therefore, I want to include anything and everything that the members of our college get up to outside the lecture theatre and show everyone what really makes Bowland so great. And so, with regards to the magazine, if you would like to include a feature about what you do or even have your say and write an article please get in contact!
Hopefully this has helped you understand our individual roles and provide information with regards to the relevant member of the JCR you should contact should an issue ever occur.
We are, without a doubt, really looking forward to working with each and every one of you to keep making Bowland the best college on campus!
