Miriam Jansen

I'm an active member of the AI Society, organising events as Event Officer and involving myself in industry outreach. Combined with my outreach experience, I'm confident in my ability to bring new sponsors and partners to AI Soc. 

Artificial Intelligence is gaining importance as a field, and the growing industry demand for graduates reflects that. The role of an academic society is, in my opinion, to help students build skills, connections, and knowledge that cannot be found in the classroom. Outreach is critical to this, as it allows us to connect students with relevant academic and industry partners. 

I have secured sponsors for previous UCL events and societies, and have the skillset to succeed in this role. Furthermore, I have a good understanding of the AI space and a clear idea of which institutions and companies can and will benefit from involvement with our society. I'm running for Head of Outreach as opposed to Outreach Officer because I enjoy managing a team, and hope to spend this year fine-tuning my managerial skills through leadership positions at various societies. 

Outreach is a collaborative effort, requiring the committee to pool together their ideas and connections. If you have any proposals for outreach, regardless of your role in the society, please reach out to me! We'll to work together to make AI Soc bigger than ever for the 23/24 academic year.
