The Welfare Team

Kirren Mahmood (Welfare Officer)

I shall generally be your first point of call if you have any welfare issues you would like to discuss and I am available on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. My office is Staircase 1, Room 4 in the First Quad.

Alex Lumbers (Academic Director)

I oversee all aspects of academic life in College from day-to-day issues to policy and strategy. I am here to offer advice to students on matters both academic and personal. Throughout your course at Jesus you can knock on my door at any time if you wish to see me; if I’m not around you can make an appointment via the Academic Office or send me an email. Please feel free to see me during Freshers’ Week if you would like to. I look forward to you joining the College and following your progress!

Lowri Jones (Academic Registrar)

I am responsible for a number of academic and non-academic matters, including financial assistance applications and exam issues, such as applications for special exam arrangements, requests for extensions to written work and submission of extenuating circumstances.

Carolyn Ruhle (College Nurse)

As a College Nurse, you are welcome to come and see me if you are feeling unwell. I am based at Jesus College between Week 0 and Week 9. Jesus College students can also come and visit me at Wadham College, where I am also a College Nurse. My email and surgery times are available on Jesus College’s intranet should you wish to get in touch.

Caroline Warman (College’s Welfare Fellow)

I am responsible for helping the College develop its welfare policy. I have office hours (Monday, 1:00-2:00pm) during term time, when students can drop in to my office (staircase 12, room 3) to discuss any welfare-related issues, including any ideas you might have for improving the College’s welfare provision. Alternatively, get in touch with me to arrange an appointment. I would also be happy to see you for an initial conversation about welfare in Freshers’ week. I am also the Tutorial Fellow in French.

Chris Dingwall-Jones (Chaplain)

As Chaplain, I’m here for everyone in the College community, regardless of faith or lack thereof. I’m someone to talk to who isn’t a tutor, counsellor or friend, who can give some outside perspective on difficulties and concerns big or small. I’ve been an Oxford undergrad twice, so I understand the particular joys and challenges life here can bring. You’re very welcome to come and find me in my office, (staircase 14, room 2, third quad). I look forward to meeting you in Freshers’ week!
