Election post
Coming from a school where there wasn’t even an Indian society, let alone a Telugu one, I often felt that part of my identity went unrepresented, especially when there were societies for other cultural groups like Jewish, Middle Eastern, or Latin American students. Arriving at UCL and seeing how active the Telugu Society is, and how it builds genuine friendships and a strong sense of belonging, was inspiring.
As First Year Representative, I want to help foster that same sense of community for others—to create a space where people feel appreciated, their culture celebrated, and where meaningful connections can grow. I’m running because I want everyone, especially those who’ve never had that representation before (like myself), to feel seen, heard, and proud of who they are
