Biochemistry (UG): Year Two Wellbeing Representative

Hey everyone! I’m Gerald, running for the role of the Year 2 Wellbeing Rep this year. As second year rolls around, the lab writeups and lectures have only become more complex, making it easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s exactly why having a dedicated wellbeing rep is so important: to ensure no one faces those pressures alone. I want to help create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable speaking up, reaching out, and finding balance. If elected, I’ll work to strengthen communication between us and the staf and make sure that existing support services are easy to access and well-publicised. I also plan to introduce wellbeing initiatives like peer-support meetups, informal study groups, and relaxed social events to help ease stress and build a stronger community within our course. I believe that with the right support network, we can all thrive together, not just survive the tougher years ahead.
