Will Scott

for Communications Officer 2010-11

INTRODUCTION
* I’m a first year medic–used to being bombarded with information, making sense of it all and
then communicating it simply and concisely. This also means I can manage my time well.

*
I worked in communications for an internet startup (http://www.tvcatchup.com) for
6 months – getting information to approximately 500,000 people via the website and 3,000
via twiter and facebook.

THE NEWSLETTER
* Make the newsletter more relevant to individuals
Continue the work started by Helen Swift (Communications Officer 2009-10) and Ben
Blume (Computer Officer 2009-10) to target the newsletter to individual interests.

* Remove the Quiz and Photo of the Week – interest in them seems to have dwindled.

*
Look into adding sports fixtures (allowing greater support for our teams within Queens’)
and sports results, hopefully supplementary to the reintroduction of the sports board.

*
Ensure that the agendas for the JCR committee and for JCR open meetings are made
available in advance so people have the chance to comment before the meetings.

THE QJCR WEBSITE

*
In tandem with the Computer Officer, there are ways in which the website can be made clearer,
working with the secratary to make the minutes from all meetings easier to access.

* Greater use of QJCR polls, working with the president and external officer to keep the JCR
fully involved in feeding in to JCR policy.

NOTICEBOARDS
* As the work in Cripps draws to a close, the remaining noticeboards will hopefully be replaced.
As Communications Officer, I will look into making them more relevant and useful.

WHAT NOT TO CHANGE

The Table of Faces was an enormous help to me as a Fresher
* this year and still continues to be a useful resource. I will keep it
as it exists at the moment.
