Our MCR Committee
The 2025/26 Committee
We are the current Sidney Sussex MCR committee for 2025-26. We not only organise a lot of social and welfare events for you but also sit in on college committees and the SU and are your contact people for anything you’d like to raise with them.
Please get in touch with any of us if you have any questions or concerns. We also have some unoccupied committee roles so also get in touch if you are interested in joining us!
The Sidney Sussex MCR is governed by a constitution which can be read here: Sidney Sussex MCR Constitution.
You can find more information about what we do on the Sidney Sussex Website.

Markus Verlemann
Green Officer
Hello there, I’m Markus, a first-year PhD student in maths studying general relativity and freshly baked green officer. Contrary to the maths stereotype I am a really social guy and will do my best to make the best college even better. I hope all of you have an amazing experience at Sidney. Some of my many hobbies include cooking, techno/jazz, boardgames and bouldering. But you know what I like even more than those things? That’s right – the environment. So don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any cool suggestions or inquiries about anything green related!
