Gurshaun Singh Uppal

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. I am Gurshaun (Shaun) Singh Uppal studying politics and international relations. I am applying for the role of President of Sikh Society as I would love to serve the Panth.

The Sikh Society is a family and that is one of the many reasons why I love it so much. I would love to carry on the inclusivity, friendliness, and tolerance that defines this society. I have adored my time as FYR and social secretary in the society so far and working closely with the previous Presidents has taught me important skills required to be a successful Sikh Society President. I strongly believe I have the relevant communication, interpersonal and time management skills that are vital for this role.

The Sikh Society has given me a space where, with Guru Ji's kirpa, I have been able to step on this journey and get closer to Sikhi. As President next year, I would love to promote an open environment where we can all learn more about our faith through the beautiful teachings of the Gurus. We are all at different stages of our Sikhi journey and I will promote and continue inclusive events where everyone feels welcome to be a member of this society.

I can promise you that I will give 100% effort to Sikh Society as I want this society to flourish and thrive. I understand that being President will be no easy task, but with your permission, it would be an honour to serve you all.
