Immunology Society: Welfare Officer

Hello! My name is Ichika and I am in my second year studying BSc Cancer Biomedicine.

I have been involved in the immunology society as a member last year, and I am now hoping to become a committee member this year :) I believe I will be able to contribute significantly to the society by building on my experience as a Treasurer in the Genetics Society and Course Rep for the Cancer Biomedicine Course. I have been heavily involved in planning events, talks, and journal clubs, all of which required thinking about the welfare, safety, and inclusivity of participants. Building on these experiences, I believe I will be able to add insights to the careful planning of events for the Immunology Society as well.

Academically, I am broadly interested in immunology and genetics. Specifically, I am interested in cancer immunotherapies and their efficacy on solid tumor. I look forward to deepening my interest and understanding about these topics by actively participating in the Immunology Society this year, and I am also excited to share my insights about these topics in discussions with other members as well.

I strongly look forward to being granted this opportunity to contribute to the welfare of the Immunology Society, helping the Society to plan insightful and inclusive events throughout the year.

Hi there! 

I am currently a second year in BSc Biochemistry, and I would love to become the Immunology society welfare officer for the coming year!

If I were to get this role, I would aim to ensure that the experience of all society members is enjoyable by acting as a bridge between you and the committee. I will constantly look out for the mental health of all members of the society and direct them towards appropriate UCL well-being services when necessary.

My role as a high school student representative and treasurer of the UCL Amateur Boxing Club allowed me to develop strong organisational and communication skills, and I hope to utilise and continue to enhance these skills in this role as well.

To conclude, I hope to make the Immunology society a place where everyone can feel safe and welcome. Thanks for reading and I hope you'll consider voting for me!

Having been the treasurer and one of the founding members of the society in 2 years, I'm sure I can further facilitate in organising different activities for the society (e.g. academic talks, socials etc.)
