University Groups Board
The WES University Groups Board (UGB) is made up of representatives of WES Affiliated University Student Groups from across the country. Chaired by Helena Dodd (ugb@wes.org.uk), the group meets quarterly to share best practice, aid networking and provide valuable feedback to WES on issues relevant to women engineering students.
They self-motivate, self-organise and self-deliver their own projects which have included articles for the newsletter, members area content and the INWED University Poster Competition. The board sits for a minimum of 1 year, with the formal change over at the start of the academic year.
Contacting the Board
To consult, offer opportunities, collaborate with the board or all other enquiries please email the Chair at ugb@wes.org.uk.

Anika Amin
My name is Anika Amin. I am a fourth-year Chemical Engineering student at UCL. I joined the UCL Women’s Engineering Society (UCLWES) in my first year of study, which was just when the society began. Furthermore, I volunteered as an academic mentor during that year for female high school students in Ghana that aspired to study Engineering. After this, I worked as the society’s social media and marketing executive, and now I am the president of UCLWES! We have held various events across this time, including our annual ‘Get Women into STEM event’ and have plenty of social and academic talks planned for the future too!
This year, my aim for UCLWES is to expand the range of opportunities provided to our members and extend our outreach into secondary and primary schools to educate students in engineering. Coming from a background where I had no real insight into what engineering was throughout school and sixth form, I want to reach out to schools and inspire the new generation of engineers.
