Diren Gunasekera

Hey everyone, my name is Diren, and I am running to be your Welfare Officer for the upcoming academic year!

Being a part of UCL’s Engineering Society has been an integral part of my university life and I am incredibly grateful for the people I have met and the lessons learned along the way! I hope to give back to UCLES by announcing my candidacy to be your Welfare Officer for the upcoming academic year :)

My goals for the year are as follows:

1) Host regular socials and inter-society events alongside the Head of Events to strengthen interdepartmental connections

2) Reach out to members of the society in the form of text messages on the group chat, UCLES newsletters and in-person conversations during our socials to ensure that everyone’s keeping well – all Engineering courses are quite tough after all :,)

3) Ensure that I look out for the welfare of my committee and to ensure that all my fellow committee members do not feel overburdened by committee work and make sure they maintain a healthy work-life balance

It’s been an absolute pleasure to work at UCLES and I’d love to have the opportunity to end my university journey here as well. If you feel that I’m the right person for the job, I’d appreciate your vote :)!
