Academic Reps do one of the most important jobs in the Union: They ensure students have a voice in enhancing their education.
Each month, we’re featuring your reps and the work they’re doing to improve UCL. If you have an idea about improving your course, your department, or UCL, you can contact your Academic Rep using our 'Find Your Rep page'.
Academic Rep of the Month: Grace Buckingham
Grace has made herself an unmissable rep with her ability to listen to students concerns and turn them into cogent action points.
Grace has been particularly great at organising social events that are welcoming and inclusive to everyone and she has used them to get a better understanding of those she represents!
Thank you for all of your hard work, Grace!
Here's a quick word from Grace:
In my role as Course Representative for my master's programme this year, I have focused on bringing my cohort closer together and hearing from as many students as possible.
With the help of the SU, I was able to hold socials for my cohort in the first and second terms which encouraged students to talk with new people and allowed me to get a better understanding of their experiences through dialogue in addition to the usual online surveys.
