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! I’m Natalie (she/her), Newnham’s JCR President for 2026! I’m so excited to step into this role after a previous term as Freshers’ President. I preside over the committee at weekly meetings and represent the voices of undergraduate students in the College Council and Governing Body alongside the Internal Vice President. My aim as President is to make sure that you feel heard and create a space for productive dialogue between the undergraduate body and college. If you have any concerns, ideas, or just want to chat, please get in touch or approach me around college – though, most of the time I will be found in the Old Library.
