2023/24 Committee

PRESIDENT: SYLVIA ZHU

Heya! I’m Sylvia, a third-year from Trinity Hall. I’m super excited and extremely honoured to be taking over as the new President of this amazing society after serving as the publicity officer last year. What strikes me most about CUWES is really the incredible community behind it. I’ve been able to meet so many kind, friendly and inclusive engineers via CUWES and grow in this supportive learning environment. I look forward to working with the committee and collaborating with external partners to grow the community further and provide more support for members!

VICE PRESIDENT: AMANDA KANGAI

Hii, I’m Amanda, a third-year at Gonville & Caius college. I’m thrilled to be the new Vice President for CUWES. The society has such a positive vibe, and I’m excited to contribute to this – we are welcoming, encouraging, and a place for female and non-binary engineers to thrive, and unapologetically be their nerdy selves, without fear of any social judgement. Everyone is invited to the party, and I’m looking forward to seeing you there!

TREASURER: MEGAN WONG

Hi! I’m Megan, a second-year at Queens’. I’ve met so many amazing people through CUWES events and learnt a lot from the talks. I am very excited to work with the team who makes all these things happen. As treasurer I’ll be supporting the rest of the committee with money :). Looking forward to meeting everyone!

SPONSORSHIP OFFICER: KATE LEE

I’ve really enjoyed going to CUWES events during my time here so far and so am looking forward to working with the rest of the committee and our sponsors to create welcoming spaces for people of marginalised genders to meet others and learn new things this year.

PR & NEWSLETTER OFFICER: LEAH HE

Hiya! I’m Leah, a third-year at Christ’s College. I’m thrilled to be the PR&Newsletter Officer for CUWES this year. This is a welcoming and inclusive community, and we are taking actions to make it even better. I’m looking forward to the year ahead working with the amazing team and keeping you updated with the upcoming events!

ACCESS & WELFARE OFFICER: ELIZABETH HAWKE

Hi, I’m Elizabeth, 3rd year (double time) at Sidney specialising in bio and info-y mech things! This is my second year with CUWES and I’m super excited to be continuing the work we’ve been up to from last year. Please reach out to me if you have any suggestions/complaints about the department as I can bring them at the CUED Diversity committee meetings – these can be related to accessibility, discrimination, welfare etc (this is the way we were able to successfully push for period products to be supplied). I am also very passionate about all things outreach and am in contact with the CUED outreach officer, so if you have any thoughts on that either please get in touch! Xxx

CONTENT DESIGN OFFICER: NICOLE RIX

Hey everyone! I am Nicole, a third year at Girton. I always have enjoyed doing something creative outside of my work whether it is drawing or making things. I can’t wait to design content for you all. 

CONTENT DESIGN OFFICER: ROZ DELAP

Hello! I’m Roz (they/them), a third year at Newnham. I’m so excited to design stuff for CUWES – I love art, knitting and making things. While most of my design skills go into making terrible stickers on redbubble, I can’t wait to make some more productive things.

OPPORTUNITIES OFFICER: MUHAN LI

Hey there! I’m Muhan, a third-year engineer at Sidney. As the new Opportunities Officer for CUWES, I’m thrilled to be part of this incredible committee. I can’t wait to collaborate with the committee to create exciting opportunities and foster a supportive community. Let’s explore endless possibilities together at CUWES!

EVENTS OFFICER: SOPHIA YANG

Hi, I’m Sophia, a second year at Wolfson. I am so excited to join the CUWES committee as I have always thought that CUWES is a supportive and welcoming place since joining as a fresher. I also had great fun and made lots of friends in the CUWES events I was involved in. Can’t wait to work with everyone and organise some fun events together in the new academic year!

EVENTS OFFICER: VIVIAN WANG

Hiya beautiful people! I’m Vivian (or Viv or Vivs or basically whatever you prefer), a second year at Queens’. I’m super psyched to be a part of the events team and I’m sure we’ll organize a bunch of fun events (and formals hopefully) in the new year.

EVENTS OFFICER: NICOLA GONG

Hiii I’m Nicola, a second-year at Downing and I’m super excited to work with the committee and organise fun events this year for everyone! I love how welcoming and friendly the CUWES community is, a place where you can meet other like-minded people. Can’t wait to meet you all!!!

OUTREACH OFFICER: LIZ RAKOZY

Hi! I’m Liz, a second-year at Jesus and I’m excited to be the new Outreach Officer for CUWES.
