About the JCR

Collingwood Junior Common Room is a democratic student body (view our constitution) representing it's members, which include the vast majority of the current undergraduate and postgraduate student population of Collingwood College.

Our crest contains 3 stags and we have our own stag mascot which you may see around this website and at our larger events.
We also have a short introduction available, as well as entire section of this website dedicated to the JCR's services (the tradings of Collingwood College JCR).

About the College

Collingwood College is a (rather nice) residential college of the University of Durham. No teaching is facilitated on the site, however the College has far more to offer than just a hall of residence. The official College website has more information on Collingwood College itself and some information on the JCR as well as links to other Collingwood common room sites.
