MEET THE JCR #6... our Ents Officers Georgie and Kat! They say, “Hello! We’re Kat and Georgie, a 2nd year BioNatSci and a 3rd year Engineer, and your ents officers here at Newnham! Our role is to bring entertainment fun and life to college from your JCR, to give you all a change to socialise in college and have respite from work. During our time on the JCR, we want to bring live music, comedy and BOPS to Newnham, raise up the Bar as a social space in college and join forces with your other JCR representatives to make diverse inclusive ents!”
MEET THE JCR #5... our Halls Officer Katie! She says, “Hey! I’m Katie, a 2nd year MMLer and your Halls Officer! My role is to act as a bridge between you, the JCR and college staff regarding concerns and suggestions related to accommodation. One of my main roles is helping with the organisation of the room ballot each year! But besides that, my main aim is to listen to student feedback on accommodation and work with college and the JCR to act on this in the most effective way possible.”
MEET THE JCR #4 ... our June Event President Harriet! She says, “Hi I’m Harriet (she/her), I’m a second year Classicist and I am June Event President! I’m in charge of electing a June Event Committee to design, budget, organise and oversee the event and I represent Newnham in all city council meetings related to May Balls. I also work closely with the senior staff in the college on matters relating to the June Event.”
MEET THE JCR #3... our Food and Drinks Officer Una! Una says, “Hi! I’m a second year studying History and Politics, and your JCR Food and Drinks Officer. My role is to liaise between the JCR Committee and the Bar Manager and catering staff and to listen to and act on student opinions and suggestions regarding bar and catering issues to ensure college food and drink is the best it can be! I’ll also be closely working with the Green Officer to minimise food and drink waste around college. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding anything to do with the buttery, cafe, bar or formal food please get in touch!”
MEET THE JCR #2 ... our Green Officer Gabby! She says “Hi! I’m Gabby (she/her), a second year studying HSPS and your JCR Green and Ethical Affairs Officer. I hope to represent you in all matters ethical and green and will work in unison with other JCR officers to deal with the issues and implement the ideas of the Newnham JCR – from making sure our college invests ethically and sustainably, to ensuring the vegan options in the buttery and at formal are available and tasty! If you ever have any questions, concerns or ideas, feel free to send me an email or approach me in person!” She’s working hard on preparing a brilliant Newnham Green Week - check out @newnhamgreenweek for info!
MEET THE JCR #1 ... our Freshers President Zaynab! Zaynab has been working hard over the break to organise a brilliant freshers week.
