Museums Society: Events Officer

I am thrilled to apply for the Events Officer position with the Museum Society, driven by my deep-seated passion for fostering and enhancing community engagement through a diverse range of events. My tenure as an Events Officer for the Sustainability Council in my secondary school has honed the skills necessary to excel in this role.

My journey with museums began with palaeontology, frequently visiting natural history and science museums, and has since expanded into various interests, including transport, art, geology, and more. Events are a powerful way to connect people with art and history, creating memorable experiences that inspire curiosity and appreciation. 

In my previous position at the secondary school's Sustainability Council, I was responsible for researching and organizing a diverse range of events and activities in collaboration with other committee members. Specifically, 'Green Day' events with engaging activities for the student body. I successfully managed logistics, from materials ordering to venue arrangements, ensuring the event ran smoothly. I am confident in finding and coordinating museum trips that will enrich our community's appreciation for art and history.

Moreover, my unwavering commitment to promoting inclusivity and accessibility in all events is a cornerstone of my professional ethos. I view this role as a unique opportunity to craft diverse programs that cater to all members of the community, thereby enhancing the museum's reach and impact.

👋Hey! 

My name is Abdulkareem. I am a second year History BA student, my favourite museum is the V&A and I’m excited to be running for the Events Officer position for the UCL Museums Society!

I want to organise events where members can share their many interests and passions, learn new things together and just have a fun time😁. I want every member to feel like they have a voice, so I will be setting up a dedicated email for suggestions. Whether you’re new to the society or a dedicated member, every event we hold will offer a fun and memorable time.

As Events Officer I will organise events such as:

• Museum tours (with behind-the-scenes content)
• Visits to interesting sites in london
• Game nights
• Collabs with other societies
• + any of your ideas!

Thank you for considering me!
