Emily E L Churchill

Pole fitness has been a key part of my UCL experience in both my first and second years. In my first year I become Freshers rep, and hoped to make pole an even more welcoming environment.  Through second year, as social secretary, I've worked to organise multiple socials, ranging from movie nights to our upcoming pole camp. 
Pole has become a sanctuary for so many of us at UCL, me included. 

As president I would work to ensure the environment of the pole studio maintains a positive and enjoyable vibe. 

As well as ensuring the vibes, I want to propose a few specific events that I would present as president that would further enrich the society, including, but not limited too: a society trip to blackstage, an open air showcase, talks from individuals such as sex workers and nutritionists and another pole camp! 

My understanding of pole continues to grow and develop as I get the honour to meet more people both in and out the society. I want to ensure every member of the society has the opportunity to experience the spectrum of pole as well as space to understand the big ol' world that is pole. 
Finally, I want to emphasise that I understand the value of support. I will work to ensure each member of the club has access to whatever form of support they need - whether its a rant, a reassuring smile, a spotter - or anything in-between. 

Please vote because I want a jumper that says president

Carmela Morgillo

I first joined the society in 2013, when I did my first MSc at UCL and, being still here 10 years after, while on my PhD, only shows how in love I am with the society, the supportive and empowering atmosphere it fosters and the people that make it so great. Hosting the 2023 Bloomsbury Spring Showcase gave me the opportunity to witness the full power of members’ talents and inspired me to take an active role in contributing to shaping the society and making it an even better space by joining the committee. I strongly believe that my love for pole, my commitment to full inclusivity, my effective communication skills and, above all, my passion for supporting and empower people in a safe and positive environment, would make me a great president for the society. What I envision for the society is to closely work with the Students Union to make it even more popular and accessible to all students, continuing to offer pole and aerial classes at student-friendly prices, educating members about the history and complexities of pole dancing, fostering community, supporting members’ wellbeing, and making a positive impact even outside of the society by promoting charity activities.
