Steve Campbell – External Social Secretary
Hi, I’m Steve, a PhD chemistry student and part of the ents team on this year’s MCR committee. It is our duty to make sure that Hughes students don’t forget that there is more to life in Cambridge than just studying. We have epic plans for our infamous freshers month this year, as well as a host of ideas to build on our hectic social schedule last year.
Throughout the year the other social secretaries and I will be arranging a variety of social events. This will include everything from karaoke, live music, acoustic jam nights, film nights, our infamous BOPS, bar swaps with other colleges and last but not least, formal swaps with other Cambridge colleges. This is but the tip of the iceberg, next year is going to be a busy one!
If you have any ideas on social events you would like to organise yourself with the help of the MCR, please do not hesitate to contact me on sjc268@cam.ac.uk. We will be actively recruiting a social sub-committee to help organise as many varied events as we can in college throughout the year. If this is something that you think you would interested in, please get in touch!
