President—Naomi Vince
(she/her)
Hi, I’m Naomi, a 2nd year Law student and your TCSU president this year. My role is to represent you all at the university level, with Cambridge SU and within College. I will work with College and the rest of the committee in order to achieve this. As you can see, we have a significant team of people who care strongly about improving the student experience across multiple domains.
I want to look out for you and make sure that your college experience is the best that it can be. I hope to continue and complete TCSU projects that aim to improve facilities and welfare as well as help establish a more open atmosphere between college staff and students. I want to improve communication across all areas of college – especially hearing your thoughts and feelings. If you have any concerns or problems, please reach out. Most importantly I am here to support you all as much as I can. Feel free to contact me by email or social media 😊.

Hi, I’m Kass, a second year Lawyer and your Junior Steward for this year. The role of the Junior Steward has recently been reconfigured, meaning that I can focus entirely on making college catering the best it can be. This year I’ll primarily be working with College to see what can be done to help students with the ongoing cost of living crisis; times are tough, and we want every student to be able to fully enjoy what Trinity has on offer regardless of their circumstances. I will also be working to ensure student opinion on all things food at Trinity is heard and acted upon; the food on your plate should be exactly what you want. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me!

Hey, I’m James! I’m in my second year studying maths and I am one of your entertainments reps for this year. My focus this year is reviving Trinity’s Ents in a post-pandemic world.
