Claire Woodyard

Hello! I’m Claire, a second-year Geography student. I’ve been a member of the UCL Anime Society since 2020 and, in this time, I have grown to hold so much amount of love and admiration for the people within this society. Therefore, it would be an honour to support this society as the Welfare Officer for this coming year.

My main priorities as Welfare Officer are:

• To ensure that the members of Anisoc feel listened to
• To make sure that everyone feels comfortable and included in our society
• To ensure that members are aware of the support resources that they can access, both from UCL and beyond

My experience as a course representative gives me confidence in organizing feedback opportunities, solving students' issues, and ensuring that students receive the support they need, and I will utilize this experience in this role. If I am elected, I will create an anonymous online form for feedback to improve communication between the society’s members and its committee.

I believe that inclusivity is integral to welfare. I am aware that, due to the size of this society, it can sometimes be intimidating for members to get involved with socials. Therefore, I would like to resume women and non-binary socials and encourage more informal online events for everyone to ensure that every member feels involved.

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to showing you what I can do for Anisoc!
