Carl Hentges - Welfare Officer
Degree: DPhil Robotics
College: Linacre
Weapon: Sabre
Contact: welfare.oufc@gmail.comHi, I’m Carl! I started fencing sabre when I began university and have been hooked ever since. I believe this club is truly special, and I’m excited to be your Welfare Officer this year. I’ve previously served as Men's Blues Captain and Men's Seconds Captain before coming to Oxford, and I’m passionate about both the competitive and social sides of the club. My aim is to ensure everyone can thrive, both on and off the piste. Outside of fencing, I enjoy sailing and cycling (if you’re into cycling, a few of us fencers often go for weekend rides and breakfast). Lately, I’ve also become obsessed with analogue photography. Oh, and I’m also doing a PhD in Robotics—though that should probably be higher up on my priority list!
Favorite OUFC Memory: So many good memories, but Varsity memories are my favourite
