Current JCR Executive

All students are part of the Junior Common Room (JCR). The JCR Exec are a committee of students elected by you to be the voice of the student body and to represent your interests. Their roles are varied and aimed at ensuring all students have a positive experience through a range of events and activities organised during the year. If you have any questions regarding how the JCR can support you or have suggestions for campaigns, email bowland.jcr@lancaster.ac.uk.

Amran Abita - International Students

Hellooo everyone, I’m Amran, second-year Astrophysics student and your new International Students Officer (big yay!!). As an international student myself, I totally get the struggle: the “do they understand my accent?” moments, the “why is the weather doing that?” confusion, and of course… the homesickness (we’ve all been there). But guess what? You’re not alone. I’m here to make sure you feel supported, included, and fully part of the Bowland chaos, in the best way possible. We’re building a little family here, a home away from home.
