Karthig Thillaivasan

Hello, I'm Karthig and I would like to run for VP for Punjabi Soc for 2023/24. Having been Media Officer for many societies this year, I have experience in event promotion and posting in a timely manner. I have also experience in organising events and I feel both of these are key experiences to being VP and running small and large-scale events smoothly. As VP, I aim to raise money through acquiring sponsorships, building an integrated society with a wider range of activities and use my networking to increase outreach of events. I also want to work with the culture and charity reps to increase awareness of Punjab, and thus build donation schemes for charities. My knowledge and experience in multiple roles will enable me to help and support the rest of the committee. My role in 5 committees over last year demonstrates my skills in time management and dedication to committee roles. Following the success of events over the last year, I would like to make our society well known around UCL and promote our rich culture. As president of Medical Society at my school, I have skills in managing and communicating with other committee members. Overall, I want to ensure that everyone has a memorable time at Punjabi Soc next year and I want to nurture a growing togetherness amongst the many interested in Punjabi culture and its various manifestations, and celebrate a shared heritage rooted in a rich language and literature.
