Why vote for Zhixuan?

PhD life can feel isolating and overwhelming, especially when you're figuring everything out on your own. That's why I'm running to be your Social Sciences PGR Officer: to help build a more supportive, connected space for all of us—no matter what stage we're at.

If elected, I want to:

  • Organise casual, welcoming events like coffee mornings or writing groups—spaces where we can meet outside our departments, share what we're going through, and breathe.
  • Push for better well-being support and make it easier to find help when you need it, especially during high-stress periods.
  • Please work with the faculty to make career opportunities and development workshops more visible and tailored to our needs.

I've previously served as a student rep, worked in academic support roles, and helped plan student activities, so I understand how to communicate with faculty and make sure student voices are heard and taken seriously.

I care a lot about making the PGR experience more human. I'd love to represent you and bring your ideas, concerns, and hopes into honest conversations and change.

Thanks for reading. Please consider voting for me!

– Lucy
