Meet the committee
President - Josh Powell president@oxfordhub.org

Hi! I'm Josh, and I'm the Hub President, which means that I run the student exec committee, trying to ensure that the Hub continues to put on great quality events and get as many of you guys involved with good causes as possible. My main aim is to make it as easy as possible for people to get involved, so that engaging with charitable groups becomes the norm for Oxford students. We work with such a wide range of organisations that there is definitely something for everyone to get involved in! Please feel free to email me on president@oxfordhub.org if you want to find out more about what the Hub does, or are really keen to get involved!
Vice President Network - Henry Owen vpnetwork@oxfordhub.org
I love my role at the Hub because I’m passionate about making student volunteering and activism as effective, and enjoyable, as possible. If you have much contact with the Hub you’ll soon realise the amazing amount and variety of positive things that Oxford students make happen every day, just with their spare time – that’s what keeps me interested.
As well as working to increase the Hub’s involvement with and integration into Oxford life, I look after our Ethical Network of member groups with Jiawen, Sarah and Alice. Between us, and the staff, we support the 50+ (and counting!) member groups.
And the less interesting bit: I’m studying for a Biomedical Sciences degree at University College.
Vice President External Relations - Louis Trup vpexternal@oxfordhub.org
Hi, my name is Louis and I am the VP for External Relations and Finance. I am a 2nd year Geographer at Brasenose College. I got involved with the Hub through organising the Oxford Climate Forum, and am also involved with Oxford Development Abroad. As well as being involved with the Oxford Hub, I like to dance, play football, and am a freelance DJ. Feel free to get in contact about anything related to the hub, especially if you are an external organisation who would like to discuss working together, at hello@oxfordhub.org or vpexternal@oxfordhub.org

Publicity Team

John Huxley
I'm John, one of the HUB's publicity officers. I'm in my second year doing Law, and when I'm not grappling with statutes I'm working with my fellow officer Lauren to let as much of Oxford as possible know what's going on at the HUB! In particular I am in charge of 'social media,' which lets me spend way too much time on Facebook and Twitter, and developing our relationships with all of Oxford's societies, Colleges and faculties.
Charlie Smart
Hi, I'm Charlie and I am a second year Geographer at Jesus College. I work on publicity and am in charge of the Hub's weekly newsletter "The Week". I've also been involved with the hub helping to organise OxFID.

As R&D coordinator I am able to carry on working with our member groups, as well as organising events and sending out weekly newsletters that keep the Oxford community up to date with all things rights and development!

I’m Ellie, a first year at Pembroke College studying Economics and Management. As Rights and Development co-ordinators Sarah and I oversee all of the Rights and Development Groups and help them out in any way we can. We also hold a termly ‘Spotlight Week’ where we hold events focusing on the human rights and development issues specific to a particular region.
