Election post
Hi! My name is Audrey, and I’m a first-year student studying Social Sciences. I’m standing for welfare officers as I believe welfare is a crucial part of any successful organization, but even more so for a close-knit community like UCLIS. I am committed to ensuring that every member feels heard, valued, and supported, as ensuring the well-being of each individual is essential in fostering a community where we can truly connect, engage, and care for one another.
My interest in Social Sciences stems from my passion for healthy communication and strong community bonds. I have gained firsthand insight into the importance of accessible support systems through experiences supporting local communities, volunteering at refugee learning centers, and conducting mental health research projects. These experiences have shown me how a truly supportive community thrives when they have the resources needed to balance academic pressures with personal well-being.
As Welfare Officer, I want to create a safe space where everyone feels included, valued, and supported. I believe that a strong student community is built on openness and collaboration, and I will work to ensure that all members feel seen and heard by the committee, as well as receiving the support needed. This also includes hosting more fun and mindful activities, such as DIY stress-ball making, baking workshops, bowling night or any activities for us to bond while having fun. Vote for me and make your voices heard!
