Academic Reps do one of the most important jobs in the Union - they make sure you have a voice in your education.

Each month, we’re featuring your reps and the work they’re doing to make UCL better. If you have an idea about how to improve your course, your department or UCL you can contact your own Academic Rep using our Find Your Rep page.

November's Academic Rep of the month is: Mridula Gullapalli

Mridula Gullapalli was nominated by a fellow academic rep in the Department of Greek and Latin. Commended for her proactive and can-do attitude, Mridula has been a vital member of the academic rep team this year. She has suggested new ways for students in her department to voice their concerns by organising an anonymous survey.

She synthesises and categorises all of student responses before presenting them at the staff-student committee, and it has been noted, by both students and staff, that Mridula’s contributions have significantly improved the flow and structure of the meetings.

In future, Mridula intends to circulate the minutes of the staff-student committee to all students in the department to increase transparency between staff-student conversations, and therefore encouraging more students to come forward and have their voice heard. All Mridula’s efforts have been recognised by both staff and students, as well as the positive changes she has made so far in her first term as an academic rep. Well done, Mridula! Keep up the good work!
