Lauren Tang

Hi I'm Lauren, a first year History of Art student, and I would love to have the opportunity to be the History of Art Society's Welfare Officer. Attending some of the History of Art Society's events, like the social and talks, has introduced me to many peers who share similar interests and passion as me. From these experiences, I am running for this role because I would love to continue and ensure these positive experiences and relationships within the society.

Previously in my Sixth Form, I was an art ambassador and co-founder of the History of Art Society. I was involved in planning and encouraging students from all ages to attend our events - especially the younger ones as their school curriculum did not include the subject. We also have collaborated with clubs like Classics, to generate broader interest into both History of Art and other subjects. The purpose of the society was to make History of Art fun and accessible for everyone, resulting in creating a sense of community and positive outreach which I want to preserve at UCL. If elected, I would love to help plan various activities for the society like picnics or exhibition viewings where people can have more opportunities to foster close-knit relationships. As a candidate for Welfare Officer, I am eager to represent the members' voice if there are any issues or concerns, as I believe it is important to have a transparent relationship between the members and the representatives of this society.

Hi, I’m Evie and I’m a second-year history of art student.

Art history has not traditionally been very inclusive, and one of my main focuses as Welfare Officer would be to make sure that the History of Art Society accommodates everyone and makes everyone feel included. 

If chosen as the Welfare Officer, I will make sure that the society is open to the ideas of society members so that everyone feels represented and so that we focus on whatever artworks you want to learn about and discuss. 

I made some of my first friends at university through a History of Art Society social, so I know how important they can be for bringing people together and I would love to be able to help to do this. Whether members are History of Art students or just have a love for art, it’s important to me that our socials can be a way for people to connect and that they are accessible to all.

It is vital to me that the History of Art Society is a safe place, so I want to let you know that I will always be available to talk, no matter how big or small your concerns and questions- or for if you just have ideas on how to make the society better. 

I am currently the year 2 representative on the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion board and I would love to be able to apply what I learn there about making art history more accessible to my role in the History of Art Society. 

My goal is to make the society as welcoming and enjoyable as possible!
