The JCR represents the interests of undergraduates and acts as the link between students, Fellows and College Departments, and between Magdalene students and the main Cambridge University Student Union (CUSU). The JCR President attends meetings of the Governing Body, and the Amalgamation Club which allocates money to College sports clubs and societies.
All Magdalene undergraduates automatically become JCR members when joining Magdalene but membership is not compulsory. The Committee is elected annually at the end of Michaelmas Term (mid-November) by the undergraduate community.
The JCR organises events and activities throughout the year including social events and Freshers week.
