Greenough Society: Welfare Officer

Hi I'm Maria and I'm applying for the position of Welfare Sec!!

I'm dedicated to creating an inclusive and friendly environment for all wanting to join our society. I understand how hard and overwhelming it can be coming to university and looking to join societies. I pride myself on being a supportive and approachable individual and would love to be there to support my peers through fun well-being activities such as picnics and workshops. U

University can be a daunting place and Greenough is a wonderful and supportive community inside our department and i would love to be there to support everybody <3 

Thanks for considering me!!

I have found Greenough Society to be an amazing way to engage with other students in the department and I would love to support the welfare of our members! I want to be able to support my peers and point them towards any necessary resources so we can make the most of our time at UCL. As a Greenough committee member I would ensure that we provide an interesting and well rounded social environment for students within Earth Sciences to meet each other and foster rewarding connections. I truly love studying Earth Sciences (especially going out into the field to see impressive rocks and fossils!) but I also love being able to gather with other students with this passion. 

Hello, I’m Surendra, a second-year MSci Geology student. 

To continue this role would be a great chance to create connections further with our vibrant student community. It is crucial to have an open, welcoming society to further bolster our goals as a society.  

I hope that next year if elected, I can set up some drop-in welfare sessions (and tea/biscuits all on us!) for people to relax and talk. I have been in tandem and have enjoyed working with other members of Greenough and the committee and hope to continue fostering such collaborations with all members next year.
