Student Activities

Introducing your Student Activity Officer for 2011/12.

Jon Worgan

Jon Worgan grew up in rural South Wales and studied his undergraduate degree in Law at University College, Durham University. While there he specialised in law relating to discrimination on the basis of gender and sexuality and worked with a Durham research group on their awareness-raising blog “Inherently Human”. He was also director of debating at Durham union society.

Jon is currently studying the LLM at Essex in International Human Rights Law and volunteers in the Essex Human Rights Clinic. He has taken the role of Student Activities Coordinator as a frontrunner in the Human Rights Centre which partly entails coordinating student tours with the participation of the undergraduate and postgraduate student forums. This year there are trips to Kosovo, European Institutions and Brussels and an undergraduate trip to London.

He is also able to advise other student-led initiatives and support the development of further campus based activities for all human rights students.

“I hope to use my experience to bring the postgraduate and undergraduate communities together in the organisation of some fantastic student-led enterprises.”

The purpose of the SAO is to assist with the enhancement programme of the HRC and act as a liaison between the students, the HRC and its Alumni to encourage student initiatives and activities.
