Hi I'm Hana, Welfare & Community Officer!
As the Welfare & Community Officer, I am dedicated to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for every student at UCL. My role involves actively advocating for the diverse needs of international students, ensuring their voices are heard at all levels of the institution. I strive to create supportive initiatives and programs that enhance the overall student experience and promote a sense of belonging within our vibrant university community.
I also work alongside the Advice Service as well as Hall Community Officers to ensure your wellbeing is the Union's top priority.
I represent you by chairing the Welfare & Community Zone and and sitting on the Union Executive as a voting Member, which any student can attend. I also sit on several other committees to ensure your interests are represented.
Welfare & Community Officer Updates
I write a fortnightly update report on the work I've been doing to represent you, including my progress on my manifesto pledges. My report covers updates on current projects and collaborations with different student groups, academic departments, and community organisations.
My work, as outlined in my report, is scrutinised and voted on by other elected student leaders in our Welfare & Community Zone. You can read more about them here: Policy Zones & Union Executive.

Democratic Voting Record
As democratic leaders, all Sabbatical Officers must maintain transparency in their work. Below is a record of the voting on policies introduced during the academic year 2024-2025 and how Hana has voted. Please note that Sabbatical Officers do not participate in all Zones and, therefore, do not vote on every policy.
