Indonesian Society: President

I believe that taking the chance to further one's education abroad is one of the most eye-opening experiences. It can be alienating at times being so far away from Indonesia, which is why it is so crucial to have a home away from home. 

I am never one to shy away from challenges out of my comfort zone, hence why I am running to be President. Working together with fellow organisers within our community, I am confident that we will work collaboratively to guarantee smooth day-to-day operations of the society and incite new ideas for events to unite the Indonesian community at UCL. Having attended previous UCL IndoSoc events, not only have I met people I could call friends, but I also admire the amount of time and team effort put into organising it. Having started an online business of my own and previously taking leadership roles in school and work, I believe that my great communication and leadership skills will provide a great advantage to this position. 

Given the opportunity, I would be honoured to serve as a President in this society. It will broaden my network and I will always work to ensure that my fellow Indonesians who are brave enough to move so far away from home to broaden their knowledge are well taken care of. I look forward to working with fellow committee members to ensure that the Indonesian community at UCL is well connected and acquainted with other London universities' Indonesian society. 

Hi there, my name is Aldrie and I am a first-year Electronic and Electrical Engineering student!

I am running for the position of president because I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the Indonesian Society this past year and wish to ensure that the society continues to create a home away from home environment where Indonesian students can get to know each other. Having been the First-Year Representative of UCL First-Gen Society, I am familiar with the inner workings of a UCL society and the responsibilities that come with being on a committee. 

As your next president, I plan to:

• Push out more opportunities for members to socialise through interest-based activities, whilst also building on the strengths of existing events
• Collaborate with Presidents of other Indonesian Societies to maximise KILAU as well as other inter-university events
• Improve the line of communication and feedback between members and the committee to ensure that events reflect the interests of members

I look forward to working as UCL IndoSoc's next president!
