Tristan Wong

Hello EFS members,

I’m Tristan Wong, a second-year Economics student running to be your Welfare Officer.

As the current Vice President of Business at EFS and Secretary of the UCL Museum Society, I’ve organised events across both career-focused and hobby-based societies, bringing together students across a wide range of disciplines. Within EFS, I’ve helped organise events such as the McKinsey Analyst-led Case Study Walkthrough and hosting the UK Investment Competition at UCL, where ensuring students felt comfortable participating, asking questions, and engaging with speakers was just as important as the technical content itself.

For many students, EFS is their first introduction to finance and networking, which can feel intimidating at first. That’s why welfare is so important: creating an environment where people feel welcomed, confident attending events, to allow students to build meaningful connections.

Having worked closely with the current committee, my priorities going forward:

Community – Organise more varied and frequent socials (finance pub quizzes, golf socials, hikes) to help members build friendships beyond formal networking events.

Connection – Encourage post-event socials and smaller group meetups after speaker events so members can connect with each other and committee members.

Inclusivity – Ensure members feel comfortable attending talks and socials by fostering an open and supportive environment where students feel confident asking questions and meeting new people.
