Election post
Hi! I’m Selin, a first-year Neuroscience student. I’m running for Welfare Officer because I care deeply about building a real sense of community in our society—something I think we all need more of at UCL. Uni life can feel super independent and at times isolating, especially when you’re far from home. I want to help create a space where we feel supported, connected, and just more like us. That means more relaxed, inclusive events like okey nights, rakı & muhabbet evenings, and Turkish tea & chat sessions! From working in mental health spaces and wellness projects to performing on stage and managing a food blog, I’ve always tried to uplift others and bring people together. I want our society to feel like more than just events—it should feel like brothers, sisters, siblings coming together.
Let’s make our Turkish Society a true community—grounded in laughter, comfort, culture, and care.
