Junior Deans
The Junior Deans help make sure everyone is able to enjoy their time at Mansfield as fully as possible. Their role has two main parts:
1) "Keeping the peace" i.e. making sure you as a community get along well, respect each other, and abide by the college rules. Everyone here has the right to live and study without being negatively impacted by others.
2) Providing pastoral support and helping you navigate other welfare resources as needed.
