2022/23 Committee
President
Justin Vyvyan-Jones (he/him)
Classics (IIA) & German (2018-23),
St Hugh's College
In 2015, I took a hardback Iliad off the shelf of my village state-comp's library, and began reading. Within a couple of pages I was falling in love with the ancient world; seven years later, I'm keen to spread the word in every way I can that studying Classics is relevant, accessible, and fantastically enriching. OUCS is a brilliant platform for outreach and access; it's also a space to foster community among Oxford's many devotees of antiquity. I'm immensely excited to be working with this talented and enthusiastic committee to deliver for OUCS in 2022-23!
Vice President
Charlotte Perry (she/her)
CAAH (2020-23), Somerville College
My name is Charlotte, an incoming third-year Classical Archaeology and Ancient History student from Somerville! I'm really excited to be serving as the Vice-President for the academic year. Alongside Justin I'm looking forward to bringing you a wide array of events and goodies, ranging from exclusive OUCS merch, to film nights (someone say Hercules?), to exciting pub-quiz events to test your classical knowledge! We also have a number of academic and career-orientated events in the works, so make sure to stay up to date with our latest news via our social media channels.

SEEKING: Equalities & Outreach Officer
Could it be you?
~~~~~
There's still space on the committee for an Equalities & Outreach Officer. Individuals from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in Classics are particularly welcome to fill this role, but anyone keen to make a difference in rendering Classics more accessible and inclusive is welcome to contact any of our committee members.
