Phoebe Lang-Clapp

Hi everyone, I'm Phoebe! I'm running to be your Welfare and Communications Officer for 93% UCL.

It's firstly important to say that 93% is very close to my heart. It utterly transformed my uni experience when I stumbled upon the society in first year (as an extremely anxious student flooded with impostor syndrome) so much so that I just had to join the committee in my second year. It's safe to say I truly underestimated what it would feel like to be a lifelong state-schooler in such a prestigious environment but I certainly felt the weight of that and that feeling has made me absolutely dedicated to improving our experience and representation at UCL however I can.

I'm running for Welfare and Comms because I think it's the best way I can use my skills for our cause. As somebody with experience in journalism both in a UCL context and beyond, I understand the value of succinct, tailored and accessible communication; as somebody with a huge personal interest in illustration and design, I would really like to put these skills t0 use for the cause I strongly believe in. My previous role as a 93% representative has given me knowledge of the network and personal experience of members' stories which I believe would lend itself well to the welfare role.

I wish everyone good luck, and thank you for reading!
