Welfare
The main purpose of the CGCU is to help you make the most out of university life, by organising and encouraging sports and activities, and by assisting you with any welfare issues you may encounter during your studies.
Below is a list of all the people throughout College who can help you in a variety of matters, from combating health problems, settling down at Imperial, coping with disabilities, to finding accommodation and deciding on the best career move. They are all very keen and happy to assist you and you are encouraged to contact them yourself whenever you feel the need to.
Alternatively, you can contact Eirini Spentza, the CGCU Welfare Officer or Sarah Khatib, the Deputy President of Education and Welfare, who will assist you personally or point you in the right direction.
