Space Society: President

I would be a good fit for welfare officer because I am empathetic, a good listener, with strong communication skills and a desire to help others in any way I can. I am extremely passionate about mental health awareness, and I strongly believe I can provide a safe and welcoming space for any and all that need it. As someone who has experienced first hand how difficult it can be to access the support you need, I am dedicated to do whatever I can to make sure each and every member of this society feels welcome, heard, and appreciated. A society is nothing without its members!

Houston, we have a nomination. Hey there! I'm Shourya and I've been a fanatic about space ever since I can remember. I drove this crazy fanaticism into a space-blog, a popular astrophysics podcast and now a degree in astrophysics.

I have an experience in society leadership, having been the treasurer of the Space Society, the PR officer for the Literature Club of my city and an editor for our local Journal of Physics and Space Sciences. I pursue an astrophysics degree and intend to pursue space outreach and comm., which strongly relate to the heart of this society. My astrophilia has driven me 7,120 kms across the globe, and if elected, I would make sure that pays off by helping enable my fellow members to derive the same pleasure out of the cosmos that I do.

UCLSS was the first society I joined at UCL, and one I was most excited for. If elected, my priority for the club would be to increase its outreach and recognition. Space is unarguably a most intriguing science, and one that is most-loved. This can propel the society's popularity hugely, only if proper outreach and communication is ensured. My second aim would be to plan, organize and execute a series of events. You can know more about these in my manifesto.

I would also request you to have a look at my detailed plans and would appreciate it if I were to be contacted for my detailed manifesto, or to be asked any questions about my nomination. You can find me at: [email protected]. Thanks!

From a young age I've had a strong interest in the universe, space and everything about our place in it. I do astrophysics as my course which gives me a key insight into the details that'll help me communicate the ideas and put forward the best policies in the society. In my role, I plan to take a far more active position in setting up fun events and teaching our members lots about the subject. I hope to set up conversations on a regular basis that delve deeply into the concepts and clarify ideas that people hadn't considered fully. Overall, I'd make a fun and productive leader to the society and put in a lot of effort to make it a fun and fulfilling atmosphere.
