A full listing of events and important dates can be obtained from the calendar. You are always welcome, so please do come along!

If you would like to organise an event for the MCR yourself, please contact the MCR Secretary.

Academic

If you are interested in expanding your knowledge, come to our academic talks series CHUtalks. Some old talks can be found here. Participating in CHUtalks can be a handy way of practicing your presentation skills! They are followed by wine and cheese in the Sandy Ashmore Room. You can also learn more about the research done by Churchill’s students at the annual Conference on Everything. If you are interested in taking part in either, please contact the MCR Academic Officer.

Social

Being a graduate student is hard work. To help students unwind after a long day in the lab or library, the MCR organises a number of social events throughout the year. Even if nothing is planned, then there is always the MCR Bar. The most popular social events are the termly Guest Nights, which are always a lot of fun. If you have an idea for an event, please contact the MCR Internal Social Secretary or MCR Bar Secretary as appropriate.

Sport

MCR members also engage in a variety of sports. College has a range of sports facilities, which can be enjoyed by any MCR member. Those who take things a bit more seriously might be interested in the opportunities offered by the University.
