Vice-President
Ashby Neterer, MCR Vice President 2023-24
I am a second-year D.Phil. in Theology from Virginia (USA). My current research focuses on the connection between meaning and suffering in the Church Fathers. After I finish my D.Phil., I want to teach Theology at a U.S. university. In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar, watching concerts, and working out. The Oriel MCR has been a home away from home to me, and I hope to make feel like home for our members, new and old, in the 2023-24 academic year.
If you have any queries, feel free to contact me at mcr.vp@oriel.ox.ac.uk
Secretary
Prasita Dutta, MCR Secretary 2023-24
Hi! I am Prasita, and I’ll be your MCR Secretary this year. You will usually spot me next to the desserts table in the MCR with an ‘apparently bottomless’ wine glass in my hand. Nevertheless, drunk or sober, I love to meet new people and talk to them, so feel free to come say hi whenever. (Ahem, trying to say this in the most non-nerdish way possible) I am pursuing a DPhil in Inorganic Chemistry and am currently in my second year. One year at Oriel already went IN A FLASH, and I am so grateful for all the people I have met here. I hope to make Oriel as welcoming to you, as it has been to me. Lastly CONGRATULATIONS for getting to be a part of the best MCR in Oxford. Looking forward to meeting you all.
If you have any queries, feel free to contact me at mcr.secretary@oriel.ox.ac.uk

Treasurer
James Linsley-Parrish, MCR Treasurer 2023-24

Welfare Secretary
Jonathon Clark, MCR Welfare Secretary 2023-24
Hi I’m Jonny! I’m a second year DPhil student in Chemistry and I’ll be one of the welfare officers this year for the Oriel MCR!
I did my undergrad here at Oxford (why you may see me wearing New College stash…) so know how busy and stressful life at Oxford can be sometimes. I hope to be a friendly face around the MCR and please talk to me if you have anything you fancy chatting about! I’ll also be organising a bunch of welfare events throughout the year to help keep the MCR a fun and friendly place!
If you have any queries, feel free to contact me at mcr.welfare@oriel.ox.ac.uk
