JCR Committee

The JCR Committee is made up of students at Newnham who represent their peers. If you have concerns which you feel would be better raised at a College level, please contact tutorial.office@newn.cam.ac.uk.

Hello! My name is Cara and I am a second year PBS student and Newnham’s JCR President. In my time in the role I hope to amplify the voices of all of Newnham’s wonderfully diverse students in conversations with college. I was previously in the role of Welfare Officer for over a year, so I am also really passionate about supporting initiatives that promote student mental health. On that note, if anyone has any concerns at all I would love for you to feel comfortable reaching out via email, or please do approach me around college!
