Introducing Shahan
My name is Shahan Nazir, and I’m your newly elected Vice President of Welfare and Wellbeing at the UWS Students’ Union. I’m originally from Pakistan and came to Scotland to study a Master’s in Business and Accounting with Leadership at
UWS.
As VPWW, my goal is to make student support more visible and accessible for everyone. I want to help create a university environment where students feel safe, supported, and able to enjoy their journey.
This year, I’ll focus on student engagement through regular events from the EDI calendar, Wellbeing Wednesday, and podcasts. I’ll also work on suicide prevention, supporting students with disabilities, and helping with everyday student concerns. Let’s make UWS a place where everyone can thrive!
