Hi everyone! I’m Kevin - one of the lovely Welfare Reps and I’m running to be your Welfare VP! ☺️ 

Key aims:

  • Greater collaboration between societies
    • We’ve seen great success with collabs so far - getting even more collaborations between societies helps highlight the diverse strengths of our community and show us even more ways to look after our wellbeing.
  • First year involvement
    • Introduce first year welfare reps later in the year to bring more first year involvement in RUMS.
  • Student input
    • RUMS Welfare does so much work behind the scenes, and yet so many people don’t hear about it. As Welfare VP, I aim to be more transparent behind what we do, while also gathering student feedback to make sure we all have an input behind what goes on in the medical school.
  • Social media presence
    • Open up DITL’s to those outside of the subcommittee to give everyone a chance to contribute to welfare.
  • Clinical Year Involvement
    • We’ve seen greater clinical year involvement this year - I want to continue this for next year, but I can only do this if enough of you join the subcommittee!

Most of you know me from the anatomy labs - I’ve gotten so much feedback from the preclinical years on what they’ve been struggling with. I’ve combined this with the knowledge of the inner workings of RUMS Welfare I have as a Welfare Rep. This means I’m in a great position to understand your issues, while also vouching for you!
