Green Officer – Pasha Taylor

Pasha - JCR Green Officer

jcr-green@chu.cam.ac.uk

Hello everyone, I am Pasha, one of the JCR Green Officers. I am studying Geography and have a real passion in promoting and enhancing the sustainable credentials of Churchill College. Upon coming to Cambridge, I was intimidated by the prestige of the university and was nervous that I would fail to follow the surplus rules and regulations implemented by colleges, such as wearing a gown and not walking on the grass! The nice thing about Churchill is that you are welcomed with open arms and not confronted with many of these strict regulations or traditions. Rather, the college is forward thinking and seeks to embrace individuals as they are and for what they chose to do. I hope you take this for comfort – try not to worry and before you know it you will find you place and your people here. Best of luck!
