President: Humayra Bawany
Hi everyone! I am Humayra, and I am so excited to be serving as the President of LSE SU United Nations Society!
I am a BA History Student and I was born and raised in London but I am orginally from Pakistan.
I joined UNSOC in my first term at LSE, and it honestly was one of the best decsions I ever made. The society was such a tight-knit community and helped me find my place in the massive, overwhelming experience that LSE can be to a fresher. Now a year later, I still find myself loving the society because that small community became some of my closest friends. Moreover, the society offers sonmething for everyone, with our three different divisons. As a BA History student, I love that the society allows me to debate and discuss international realtions through the Outreach and MUN Division or think about my pathway as a future diplomat in the Careers Division.
Outside of UNSOC you will find me probably at any nice brunch spot in London, playing Tennis or travelling.
I cannot wait to meet you and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
Vice President: Alberto Martino
Hello! I’m Alberto, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be serving as the Vice President for the Careers Division for this academic year, alongside Rhea.
Joining UNSoc has been one of the best decisions I’ve made here at LSE, and I want to assure you that you’re entering a warm and welcoming community that will enhance your academic journey. The LSESU United Nations Society offers something for everyone, whether you have a true passion for diplomacy or simply a curiosity about our world and the challenges it faces.
Our Careers division is designed to provide insight into working within international organizations. This year, we have an exciting lineup of regular events planned, covering various aspects of a career at the UN, including panels, discussions, workshops, industry visits (and yes, even an overseas trip 👀).
If you have any suggestions or questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch; we’re here to listen and help!
Vice President: Mingyu Zhao
Hi, I'm Ming, and welcome to the LSESU United Nations society! It's ben a pleasure to be serving as the Vice President of UNSoc this year and leading the Outreach Division with Claire and Chantal.
I joined UNSoc first thing in my first year. As an international student finding my footing in the UK, UNSoc instantly became a place of belonging and growth. Almost two years later, I continue to be inspired daily by what drew me to UNSoc initially — it's more than just a society; it's a vibrant community, a family of supportive and like-minded individuals.
We at the Outreach division, are an even more tight-knitted bond, working together to organize impactful fundraisers and panel events. Our efforts bring distinguished speakers to LSE, such as Her Excellency Barbara Woodward, the Permanent UK Ambassador to the UN, offering students invaluable insights into the international community.
Join the UN Soc family today, and don't hesitate to get in touch!
Secretary: Annie Yan
Hi everyone, a very warm welcome to UNSOC!
My name is Annie, a second year International Relations student, and I will be this year’s Secretary.
UNSOC's bright, vibrant, and supportive community is what makes the society so special and unique, so whether you are interested in learning more about the UN, passionate about world affairs, or looking for a place to meet like-minded individuals, come along to one of our upcoming events! All information will be posted on our social media and newsletter so make sure to keep an eye out for that - In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer and see you soon!
Treasurer: Kenneth Choi
Hi, this is Kenneth, your treasurer this year. I’m so glad to have the trust of everyone for this important role. I am also the Deputy Sec-Gen of LSEMUN HS this year, so don't be shy when you see me, I’m sure most of you will see me around quite often!
UN Soc is such a great big family in LSE where I met a lot of genuine friends. We learn from each other, laugh with each other and work with each other. And I’m sure whoever joins us this year will feel the same. Last year’s committee made me feel super welcomed through our casual chats and regular gatherings.
Remember to reach out if you have any questions or concerns! I’m very happy to help you out, I’ll see you all very soon.
Careers Director: Rhea Bhasin
Hi! I’m Rhea and I’m so incredibly excited to serving as your Careers Director alongside Haoying. I’m from Mumbai, India and I am in my second year studying Politics and Economics.
The UN Society is such a wonderful place to find a community at the LSE. Through the Careers division especially, you will find yourself in the midst of people who have similar aspirations, motivations, and very often the same drive as you to change the world in one capacity or another.
I would encourage you, whether you want to work specifically at the UN or not, to explore the opportunities that UNSoc presents you with. At the very least, you will learn about the world and have your views challenged in the best way plausible, and at best you will leave the LSE with direction in your ambitions. The Careers events we have planned for you this year – from the alumni fair to an overseas trip - promise this.
We are so excited to see you soon during Welcome Week and hope you have the best introduction to the LSE!
Careers Director: Haoying Li
Model United Nations (MUN) Director: Mollie McGowan
Hi everyone! I’m Mollie, a second year Politics and International Relations student, and so excited to be a MUN director this year! I’m born and raised in the UK and love doing things outdoors such as paddle boarding, hiking, and exploring new places. Rico and I have so much planned this year and honestly we want to deliver the best experience for YOU!
Model United Nations (MUN) Director: Rico Mak
Hey guys! I’m Rico, a second year who is currently studying Politics and Economics. Surely as you’ve probably seen, I’m going to be your MUN Director alongside with Mollie!
A bit about myself - I was raised and born in Hong Kong until I moved to the UK around 3 years ago, where the world has also vastly changed since. I revolve myself around facts and data which scares me quite often, yet it’s still great to have a nice chat and talk about the news with so much knowledge of yours :)
Anyhow, MUN is the place for you to explore yourself and it’s where I’ve met my friends and my true self :) Mollie and I will hope to leave you with another great year of success and can’t wait to see you all, at your best!
Outreach Director: Claire Soret
Salut à tous, my name is Claire, a second year International Relations student. Next year, I’ll be your Outreach Director with Chantal! The Outreach division raises awareness on crucial issues as well as funds, and with the Outreach Junior Officers we’ll take care of that.
I’ve always lived in Paris, France, but I’ve travelled a lot around the world. I’m very happy to find this international dimension at the LSE and therefore at UNSOC, which is so enriching!!
UNSOC is great to create friendships, so I hope to see you soon in London :)
Outreach Director: Chantal Wong
Hi everybody, I’m Chantal, a second year International Relations student, and alongside Claire, we are honoured to be your Outreach Directors this year!
I was born and raised in Hong Kong but moved to the UK when I was 13. Having been exposed to different cultures has developed my interest in geopolitics and how cultural dynamics shape International Relations.
UNSOC is a great place to find community at LSE and I can’t wait to see you all soon!
Marketing Director: Zachary Perez Jones
LSEMUN Secretary-General: Advait Kuravi
Hi everybody, I’m Advait! I’m a second year politics student and, alongside Director-General Kudi Abiola, plan to set the bar even higher for LSEMUN this year. Expect breathtaking speakers, socials, and committees executed with glossy omnipotence. Not to mention, we aim to set a precedent that will have repercussions nationwide: net zero.
