Vicky
Chapel secretary
Read moreHaving been a Chapel secretary for nearly three years, I can now look back on that experience as one of the highlights of my undergraduate life. I've been able to serve the Chapel community in really practical ways, mostly lighting candles before services, operating lights and sound, reading from the Bible during evensongs, and stewarding for larger services.

The Chapel is...

Being part of the Choir gives me some amazing opportunities and experiences, from tours abroad to free singing lessons and singing wonderful pieces such as Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius. These experiences will stay with me for the rest of my life.
The Choir is friendly and welcoming...

Read moreSinging in Jesus College Choir has been a highlight of my time at university. The opportunity to sing such a varied range of repertoire to a consistently high standard is very special, and as a Natural Sciences student something refreshing I can always look forward to after a day in labs and lectures.
Not only does the choir provide access to a high level of music, but it also has a strong social aspect whereby a group of students come together and sing three or five times a week. This...
