They act as a liaison between senior members of college and students, proving an effective voice through which their opinions can be heard.

ɫɫӰԺ MCR (graduate students' society)
Middle Combination Room (MCR) is used to refer to different things:
- the entire graduate student body of the College,
- the graduates' common room
- and the MCR committee, an elected group of students who represent graduate student views in the College and University.
The committee organise regular social events for ɫɫӰԺ graduates and their friends, including film nights, games nights, garden parties and BBQs. A programme of events is arranged during the first week of the new academic year to welcome new graduates to ɫɫӰԺ and help them settle in quickly. All graduates have the opportunity to stand for election to the MCR committee in the Lent Term.
The focal point of the graduate social scene is the spacious, comfortable and modern graduate common room in the Canning & Eliza Fok building. The common room is equipped with sofas, a kitchen, computers, a television, a CD player, DVDs, games and books. Graduates use this room relaxing, socialising and entertaining their friends, as well as for activities organised by the MCR committee.
Feminist Society
The ɫɫӰԺ Feminist Society is open to any member of the college who wishes to discuss and learn about issues pertaining to gender and feminism.
As ɫɫӰԺ is an institution which dedicates itself to the education of women, the Feminist Society reflects the college’s prioritisation of women’s empowerment. This group is able to use its unique position within a women’s college to educate those who may not have engaged with feminism before, and propel forward the cause for empowerment of women as a key issue in college. We hold a fortnightly discussion group and frequently hold socials in college, providing friendly and respectful spaces to engage with feminism.
