JCR Photographic Portraits
In 1974, Brasenose was one of the first five male colleges to admit women. To mark the 40th anniversary of this, the JCR commissioned portraits of 12 alumnae they felt had made contributions to College or society. Biographical interviews with these women by contemporary undergraduates may be found here. This project was generously co-sponsored by the College and the Brasenose Alumni Society.
The Women’s 1974 Network
Inspired by the hugely successful event to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Brasenose admitting female undergraduates, The Women’s 1974 Network celebrates women’s contribution to the College and brings Brasenose women - past and present - together.
We are a growing network which aims to meet at least three times a year for talks, panel discussions and parties in a relaxed atmosphere (in person when possible or via Zoom) to exchange ideas and experiences.
As well as the thought-provoking and more serious stuff, we also meet for parties to chat informally and exchange ideas.
Details of these events will appear on the College’s Alumni Event Diary page when relevant. Alumni may also be notified by email.
We welcome your thoughts on themes for discussions/talks, sponsors and venues. If you would like to contact us please email network founders Amanda Holland (1988) and Jane Johnson (1987) via Womens1974Network@gmail.com.
Year Reps
The aim is for every matriculation year to have a Rep from within their own year. This is to encourage friendly year group contact, continuing the bonds that were made at BNC. Having Reps is really helpful to the College as they provide continuity and personal knowledge of their year. For earlier years we have joint Reps, but in more recent years we often have a JCR Rep and HCR Rep to reflect the larger number of graduates in College.
A list of the current Year Reps is shown in the latest edition of The Brazen Nose - or alternatively you can find out by contacting the Alumni Relations team. Do get in touch with your Year Rep if you would like to arrange gatherings with others in your year.
