Junior Common Room (JCR)
Bowland JCR Exec is made up of a group of students elected by students. They are here to represent student views, organise socials and campaigns and provide opportunities for students to get involved in events and activities taking place in the College.

The JCR meet regularly as a team and the President and the Vice President also attend meetings with College Officers and are part of the College Management Committee. Meet the JCR Exec.
