Kellogg MCR Committee
Ananya Singla, President
Hello! I’m Ananya and I have been elected as MCR President for year 2022-23. During my tenure, I want to widen opportunities for positive social interactions and bonding for Kellogg members; to offer more welfare and academic support; and to work towards improving the experience of part-time and full-time graduate students at Kellogg. Please feel free to reach out to me with your concerns/feedback at ananya.singla@kellogg.ox.ac.uk
Yousef Aleghfeli, Secretary
Before pursuing a DPhil in Education at Oxford, I worked in various education systems internationally. Working in education taught me the importance of having a strong relationship between emotional wellbeing and academic learning. As an international student, I find the diverse backgrounds and intersectional experiences of my Kellogg peers a unique resource that can help us learn and cope during our time here. I see peer support as a tool to help use these shared experiences to create a stable and supportive environment for all. You can contact me at

Ian Robertson, Treasurer
As MCR Treasurer my role is to ensure that funds are spent in line with the MCR Committee’s goals, and that the expenditures are reflected in periodic reports to the Committee and to Kellogg College MCR members. Your MCR Committee and other volunteers deliver many programs and services to Kellogg students, and both the budget approval process and the expenditure reports support the MCR’s accountability and transparency. We appreciate the ongoing support and help of Kellogg College’s finance team. ian.robertson@kellogg.ox.ac.uk
Johannes Hartmann, Social Secretary
Hi, my name is Johannes, and I’m a 4th-year DPhil student in Computer Science. I also serve as the Social Secretary for the MCR, where I strive to create a lively and engaging social life for all students through a range of events. My focus is on organizing exchange formals and bar exchanges, which provide students with the opportunity to connect and build relationships.
In my free time, I enjoy the physical challenge of rowing and am an active member of the college boat club. Attending countless social events in college, I love chatting with new people and building a sense of community. If we haven’t met yet, feel free to approach me at any event. I’m always happy to chat about anything and can also be reached via email at Johannes.Hartmann@kellogg.ox.ac.uk.

Jamie Strong, Social Secretary
I am currently reading for an MSc in Evidence Based Health Care, Medical Statistics. In my role as a Social Secretary of the College, I aim to increase event exchanges and collaborations with other colleges to enhance social networking, both in person (where viable) and online to enable part-time students and those located off-campus to fully engage with our fantastic community.
This year, I aim to facilitate the celebration of a range of events reflecting the diverse international nature of our fellow members. Greater academic-social networking through increased academic/corporate events held on campus is an area to be developed. jamie.strong@kellogg.ox.ac.uk
