The Dean and Junior Deans

The Dean

The Dean is in charge of discipline and also works with the Chaplain and Senior Tutor to coordinate pastoral support within the College.

Any instruction to see the Dean is mandatory, and you must wear your gown.  

The Dean is Dr Christopher Timpson and he may be contacted through the College Office or christopher.timpson@bnc.ox.ac.uk

Junior Deans

The College appoints three Junior Deans who are resident in the College or the Frewin Annexe. The Junior Deans for 2012/13 are Michael D'Angeli (Frewin), Moira Gillis (College) and Alys Moody (Frewin).

The Junior Deans represent the Dean and also act as a channel of communication between Senior and Junior Members of the College.

One of their primary functions is to ensure good behaviour on the College and Frewin sites and to prevent breaches of the College rules and of security. Typical tasks undertaken by the Junior Deans are ensuring that functions end on time, dispersing crowds when the bar is being closed and enforcing reasonable behaviour regarding noise within the College and Frewin. Together with the porters they are also responsible for managing emergency situations and for maintaining student safety.

The Junior Deans are also available to assist with student concerns. They are members of the welfare team and seek to provide pastoral assistance to students on each of the College's sites. Other welfare resources include the Welfare Representatives on each of the Common Room Committees, the Chaplain, the Dean, the College Nurse, and the Women's Officer.
