Meet Your AGENTS

Agents work as a team to ensure minority communities are represented and aim to make the College accessible to everyone.

As the International Agent and President of the John Snow International Association, I represent international students within the JCR, ensuring their needs are met and they feel right at home at John Snow. I also organise cultural events from around the world, along with Global Week and International Week, to bring people together to celebrate our different cultures.

**CIVAN TERBAS - People of Colour Agent**

**SOPHIE SMITH - Social Mobility Agent**

I’m here to help build community whether that’s through cultural celebrations, social events, or just being a friendly face you can come and talk to if you ever need advice, support, or even just a chat.

Ultimately, I want every student of colour to know they truly belong here at John Snow, and that our diversity is recognised and celebrated as one of our greatest strengths

As Disabilities Representative, I support students with disabilities throughout the year. I advocate for their needs in college discussions, promote accessibility, and raise awareness of disability-related issues. My aim is to ensure every Snow student feels valued and able to take part fully in academic, social, and community life.

My role as Social Mobility Agent is to provide support and information for students that are working class, first generation, have recieved contextual offers or went to state school. This is so that we can create a strong community of state school/ working class students within John Snow.

As Livers out agent, I will be supporting all students living outside of college throughout the year advocating for any needs or concerns and helping to maintain an inclusive and welcoming environment in Snow! Anyone who needs any advice please feel free to chat in my office hours
