Lithuanian Society: Welfare Officer

Fellow members,

Hello! I’m Roy, who is probably best known within Lithuanian Society as the local friendly Asian American (and SSEES student) who restarted American Society. While I admittedly have only managed to attend one event this academic year, since I saw that the crucial Welfare Officer position was not filled during the Leadership Race, I have decided to make a serious effort to help out in this way.

If elected, I will:

• Be approachable (and attend more events), so that I can proactively address welfare concerns: I am known elsewhere for replying to messages around the clock (including at night) and for talking to others at events, all of which help to get welfare issues addressed promptly.
• Take context from current events into account: As one of the leading members (during AY 2025-26) of the SSEES (“Post-Soviet”) Press Group (also called PSPG), I already keep track of events in the eponymous region (including Lithuania), and therefore can support welfare needs related to said events.

• Work with other officers to anticipate and minimise welfare risks related to our activities: With my experience writing and implementing the American Society’s Core Risk Assessment, I can support other officers in planning events well so that Lithuanian Society continues to be a place for having fun and celebrating Lithuanian culture.

  This is a serious campaign (not a joke), so I will respond to questions by email (find me in directory search). I will of course be glad to answer your emails!

As a Business and Health student, I have always been interested to help other people with their mental health problems and other issues facing them.
