Hi everyone,

I’m Maddie Small and I’m currently a first year!!

Over the past 6 months I've been an active member as Volunteering Officer of UCLUNA and have had lots of fun at the weekly training sessions. I would love to continue to be part of the team next year as Outreach Director!

I feel that this position is a great advancement from Volunteering Officer as it involves a lot of similar responsibilities, such as training and recruiting volunteers, which makes me well-prepared to handle the role.

I’m also excited about the additional responsibilities this role entails. There are numerous societies at UCL that discuss similar themes to UCLUNA (Amnesty International, Diplomacy Society, UNICEF, etc.). If nominated, I will make sure to work with these societies in order to coordinate events, increasing the opportunities and knowledge of UCLUNA members.

Here are some coordinated event ideas:

  • Guest speakers (diplomats, UN ambassadors)
  • Academic lectures on specific global issues 
  • UN/embassy tours (like done in 19/20 year)
  • Career discussion/networking
  • Volunteer projects
  • Debate sessions
  • and more! 

Another idea I would like to pursue as Outreach Director is events with other MUN societies across London; LSE, King’s (networking!). Possibly even combined training sessions in order to prepare for conferences. 

Feel free to contact me with any questions and hope to see you all at the next training session :)
