Jiaqi Chen

Business School (UG): Departmental Wellbeing Representative

Hi there! 👋

I'm Jiaqi, from the sunny shores of Singapore. It's been an incredible journey studying alongside you in vibrant London.

Navigating the busy student life, I've personally experienced the strains of deadlines and commitments. I'm eager to step up as your EFDS Well-Being Representative to address the toll on our health by reducing our stress and enhancing our days with uplifting initiatives.

Let's dive into some initiatives I aim to champion 😊

1) Term-Time Breathers

  • Secure deadline extensions during crunch times
  • Advocate for a midterm or post-assessment break to combat burnout
  • Host food parties with department funding support

2) Well-being Activities

  • Seasonal delights like
    • Flower Viewings and Hikes in Spring
    • Ice-Skating Sessions and Gift Exchanges in Winter
  • Propose and organise rejuvenating learning journeys, like
    • A tour on London's financial history
    • A European adventure exploring the Swiss Finance Museum, the European Central Bank etc

3) Weekly Welfare Check-ups

  • Share information on affordable or free well-being activities via our course group chat
  • Collect anonymous questions or feedback

4) Monthly Reviews

  • Conduct polls to tailor well-being initiatives to your preferences

Having served as a Chairperson and Activities Person-In-Charge, I've engaged with school staff on student welfare and orchestrated various events like class outings and year-end parties. I'm committed to injecting fun and enrichment into our university journey.

Thank you, and take care! 🌼
