Indonesian Society: President

Hey, y’all! Apa kabar? As the old saying goes, “lain ladang, lain belalang.” As a fellow international student, I fully understand the struggle to adapt to this foreign ‘ladang’ we call UCL. New school, new people, new country, it must all seem so daunting at first! 

Luckily, I had the UCLINDOSOC to help me cope. Through UCL Indonesian society, I met some of the best people, attended the most fun events, and truly felt supported and cared for. Hence, it would be my honour to provide the same care I received from previous team members, which is why I am running for president of next year’s committee.

With my experience leading in student council during high school and managing a jamu brewery, I am confident in my project management and communication skills to lead the team and craft the best possible events for you guys! And as an arts and sciences student, I truly appreciate the value of having a multi-disciplinary approach to come up with the most creative ideas for next year’s events and programs. 

I look forward to broadening my network and collaborating with other committee members of the Indonesian society as well as other UCL and non-UCL societies. But most importantly, I look forward to creating a utopia for my fellow Indonesian students.

I am standing because I am passionate about creating a strong and supportive community for Indonesian students and anyone interested in Indonesian culture. As someone who has experienced the challenges of being a student far away from home, I understand how important it is to have a supportive community that can provide guidance, friendship, and a sense of belonging.

As president, I would prioritize building a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and supported. I would encourage members to share their ideas and perspectives, and work to create opportunities for members to connect with each other both within and outside of society events. By creating a vibrant and engaging community, we can foster a sense of belonging among members and promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of Indonesian culture, as well as other cultures represented in our diverse community.

Finally, I am confident in my ability to provide direction and guidance to the society. I would work closely with other members of the society's team to set goals and develop a strategic plan for the society's growth and development.

Overall, I see this as an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the university community and create a lasting impact. I am excited about the possibility of serving as president and am committed to working hard to achieve the goals and vision of the society.
