As this year's communication officer, managing the twitter account not only allowed me to promote our events and spread awareness, but engage with various SLTs, SLT2Bs in the field. I also cohosted a podcast episode with East Asian SLTs, and enjoyed every part of the organization process. From liaising with the speakers, brainstorming ideas with the committee, to arranging logistics of the recording, I developed strong interpersonal and negotiation skills, and would love to bring it forward to the GV community next year!
If elected, I aim to:
1) provide job application tips for current Msc students
- organise alumni-student mingle events, to share their interview tips, and NQP experiences.
2) organise talks/ webinars with service users and professionals in the field, to raise awareness for communication and swallowing difficulties
-e.g. invite researchers of aphasia, SLTs, and service users to share their experiences during aphasia awareness month.
3) increase bonding between year A and B students
- organising monthly pub quizzes, baking socials and movie screenings for the entire cohort.
[of course, this is all dependent on the members' interests! I would like to send out a questionnaire at the start of each term, so all ideas are welcome:)]
Thank you for reading my manifesto, if I am elected, I promise to make the school year fun and educational with with my fellow committee members!
