Elected

Hi everyone,

My name is Virgile Darmon, I am a currently a second year in Electronic and Electrical Engineering. My degree might be unrelated to our society’s main interest but there are still many reasons for which I am running for president!

I have been a member of Medieval Society for now two years, and I have been part of the committee for the last one, first as welfare officer and acting treasurer, then as the official treasurer, but even before joining UCL.

I have always been passionate about the medieval times and especially in the aspect of the material culture especially in the field of war engineering: How did people dress up for war? What were the materials used? I also do armours and simple metal smithing during the summer with very limited tools and budget as a hobby.

There are many questions and topics I could spend hours waffling about but there must be something to everyone with their own personal interests which is why I have a few objectives for if I am to get elected:

  • More academic events about more varied topics
  • Widening the focus to other areas than Europe
  • Have more frequent collaboration with other societies
  • Introduce workshop events (maybe even inside of UCL)

 To this day, I keep having fun organising events that people will enjoy and I wish I could continue this journey with you all next year!
