Candidates

Shashank Iyer

Genuinely I'm the most outgoing person you'll meet. I have no shame I'll legit go and speak to anyone. And why is this relevant? It combines my desire to transform Telugu Soc from a 20(10) innings to a 50(21). Using the connections that I have made as my time as HSoc Social Secretary, as well as the socials that I have made accumulating a total of 600 (SIX HUNDRED) people over 2 weeks, it goes to show that I have a history of showing up when it actually matters. I love this society. I hate how Rahul has lied about free biryani. I'll co-ordinate with other society reps in order to make socials much like the North meets South social, only this time there'll acc be Telugu representation as opposed to a glorified PSoc social. Sports officers from other universities will be contacted for an inter-university Telugu Society football tournament. I'll genuinely make everyone's life on committee both easier and better. To be honest, I don't know what more to say because I feel like my track record speaks for itself. If elected as Outreach Officer, you guys will see Telugu Society overtake every other cultural society in terms of numbers and socials - and genuinely what more do you want?

Ema Gholkar

Hi my name is Ema and I believe I would make an excellent Public Outreach Officer for Telugu Society because I already have active ties with both the Hindu Society and the Punjabi Society, giving us immediate opportunities for collaboration, cross-promotion and shared events. I promise to be proactive, organised and genuinely enjoy being the person who reaches out, negotiates joint events, and makes sure our presence is known. I also care about branding and identity, although not being Telgu myself I admire Telgu Soc for its energy, culture and hospitality, and believe that this needs to be more widely recognised. Outreach isn’t only about informing people that something is happening, it’s about making them feel they want to be part of it. My goal is to grow our network, improve visibility, and help us be a top-tier cultural society on campus. I bring ambition, initiative, communication skills and real connections throughout multiple societies across UCL and I hope these are qualities that can help me be considered for this role.
