Hindu Society: Sponsorship Officer

Hi! I’m Darshini and I’m a first-year Geography student. I enjoy interacting with new people and I believe that I would be an effective candidate for the role of Sponsorship Officer.

Having been a member of Hindu Society for a few months now, has made me realised the enjoyable culture within the society. The fun small-scale and large-scale events that they host is something I would enjoy contributing to through the role of sponsorship officer. During sixth form, I took on the role of cultural prefect as well as House Captain which required me to make events possible, whilst on a budget. Examples of events I held were a cultural fashion show, similar to Jalwa in Rangeela, a Diwali fair and various competitions. In order to make these events possible, I was required to work with a team of individuals to create ways of raising money and reach out to companies to create deals to assist the fashion show. Therefore, developing the skills of teamwork, leadership and creativity as well as having experiences of raising money, makes me an effective candidate for the role of Sponsorship Officer. Not only will I be able to communicate with companies interested in helping raise funds for the society, but I will also be able to effectively communicate with other teams such as the Marketing team. Having me as the Sponsorship Officer for UCL Hindu Society will guarantee bigger and better trademark events such as Diwali Ball and Rangeela.

Hey, I’m Roma, a first-year medic running for the position of Sponsorship Officer!

Diwali Ball and Rangeela have been 2 of the most memorable events I’ve attended since starting at UCL, and it’s how I met some of my closest friends. Joining Hindu Society has helped to reinforce my culture and meet people from similar backgrounds, giving a very homely feeling. I appreciate and am inspired by the hard work and effort that goes into coordinating events, regardless of their scale, and I wish to be a part of the teamwork and collaboration to help provide similar experiences to people in the future years. Sponsorships are a vital aspect of societies, with the funding enabling memorable events to come to fruition.

Working for a private GP company partnered with other major healthcare providers such as Bupa and Babylon, and working for an NHS GP practice has given me plenty of experience. This includes building communication skills and relationships, through attending meetings, regular clinics, and networking events. That is why I think I am the perfect candidate to reinforce Hindu Society’s external funding and make it into an even bigger and better cultural/religious society. I believe that my skills will assist in my tireless efforts in the coming summer to negotiate with, and hopefully secure some huge sponsors.

With your votes, not only will I strive to secure as many sponsors as possible, but I hope others will be able to enjoy their UCL experience as much as I have so far.
