Greenough Society: President

My name is Alessandra, and I want to be your next Greenough president. For those of you who don't know me, I'm a third year natural scientist majoring in Earth and Environment and your current Greenough treasurer. In my last two years on Greenough committee (Academic secretary and treasurer), I have helped organize and finance a trip to the Isle of Wight, several talks, a department-wide party, and a Michelin-recommended Christmas dinner.

My presidential goals:

- Gear loans for field trips

- Free tea and coffee in the common room

- Free food at least once a month

- End of term formal dinners partially subsidized for members

- Joint events with Women in Earth Sciences

- Fresher's week events (both for freshers' and everyone)

Vote for me, and I'll make next year rock (geology pun intended)!

My main objective if elected president will be trying to give back more to the department and the students. I believe the Greenough Society has sufficient resources that can be spent on bettering the KLB, the student experience, and future activities, and I aim to utilize the funds in the most efficient manner that benefit not just members, but also every Earth Science students. I hope this means bringing what everyone wants and needs into the department building, and more frequent society events with more accessible admissions. I wish the Greenough Society can help more than just its members but the entire department. I wish to improve the academic and social experience of the future earth scientists. So please consider casting me a vote in this leadership race.

Thank you,
