Lauren Saunders

Medicine (UG): Biomedical Science - Year One Wellbeing Representative

Dear Fellow Students,

I'm Lauren!! A little bit about me - I do netball, volleyball, dance, arts, gym, cross country - honestly not particularly good but I try to get involved and connect with you lovlies!!

I am running for Wellbeing Rep because I’m passionate about creating a campus environment where every student feels supported and valued. Mental health and a sense of belonging are key to success, and I believe we can build a community that not only survives but thrives.

Why I Want to Be Your Wellbeing Rep

University life can be overwhelming. The pressures of coursework, social expectations, and adjusting to a new environment can leave students feeling isolated and stressed. As your Wellbeing Rep, I aim to amplify your voices and ensure wellbeing is at the heart of our experience. I believe that mental health is just as important as academic success and that seeking help should be seen as a strength, not a weakness.

What I Stand For

Prioritizing Mental Health
Fostering Community & Belonging
Raising Awareness & Reducing Stigma
Promoting Balance Between Academic & Personal Life
Listening to Your Needs

What I Will Do

Launch Wellbeing Campaigns
Organize Workshops & Events
Collaborate with University Services
Build Peer Support Networks
Ensure Transparency
ORGANIZE A SECRET SANTA

If elected, I will work to ensure that every student feels heard and supported. Together, we can make our campus a safe space and build fun experiences!

Thank you for your support!!

Warm regards,

Lauren
