Elected

My name is Denton, and I am running for President of the UCL Investment Society. Having been a part of UCLIS for the past 2 years, first as a mentee and then as outreach executive, I understand the importance UCLIS plays at UCL and hope to have a pivotal role in helping the society expand over the next year. 

In my past year as outreach executive, I’ve led inter-departmental talks, organized collaborations with LSE and KCL and worked on attracting speakers to the flagship finance conference. I’ve thus worked closely with the rest of the committee, which has helped me understand the society’s inner workings and intricacies. 

If I were to become president, my priorities would be: 

  • More collaborations and socials with other departments, societies and universities 
  • Bring back the alumni dinner, to connect keen members with industry experienced alumni 
  • Run more workshops teaching investment skills and knowledge as well as finance related technical knowledge. 
  • Host a wider range of socials, in addition to the usual pub and club nights. 

I am an outgoing, hard-working, finance-passionate individual, and thus for my final year at UCL, I would be honored to give back to the society which has greatly shaped me as an individual and an aspiring professional.
