Mehmet Üşümez

Vote Mehmet for President.

Hello everyone, I'm Mehmet Üşümez, your current First-Year Rep of Academic Events, running to bring out the full potential of The Economists' Society.

Serving in this year's committee gave me a good grasp of the current system, as well as our strengths and shortcomings.

Now, I am ready to step up and lead us into our best year yet.

My vision is built on three main pillars:

Two-Tier Executive Structure: To deliver bigger events, we need more power. Under my presidency, I will introduce a new first-year executive role to handle the groundwork and logistics. This will allow second-year executives to step up as Team Leads, gaining valuable management experience, while doubling our capacity. By doing so, we will have the manpower to execute projects from Day 1.

Global Ambition: We're the biggest departmental society at UCL. Why settle when we have the reputation and the new workforce? I will launch an extensive outreach campaign across the society starting in Term 1, targeting global heavyweights such as Nobel Laureates. It is a bold goal, but with a larger and dedicated team under my leadership, we will aim higher.

Bridging the Gap with Finance: We're The Economists' Society, but finance remains key for many of us. I will increase finance oriented events by introducing workshops, industry breakdowns and more high-profile speakers, while protecting our unique academic identity.

I have the experience, drive and integrity to execute.

Vote Mehmet for President.
