Technology Society: Vice President

I firmly believe that technology is for everyone, and you don't have to have a tech or computer science-related degree to join this society. It should be welcomed to students from all disciplines who are interested in exploring technological advancements and learning new skills.

My aim for this society is to create a vibrant community where members can come together to connect, create, and collaborate. The previous committee has done a great job in organizing a lot of useful workshops, and I myself have enjoyed participating in them. That's why I wish to be part of this society and contribute to its success.I strongly believe that diversity and inclusion are key components to a successful society. As a Vice President, I will work to ensure that TechSoc is a welcoming and inclusive environment for all members, regardless of their background or experience.

My reason for running for Vice President is rooted in my belief that I possess the necessary skills and experiences to effectively lead this society. Throughout my past leadership roles, such as my position as Vice-Organising Chairperson of the MSoc RD programme and my role as a KPMG ambassador, I have honed my ability to organize , execute successful events and lead . With these experiences, I am confident in my ability to collaborate with the committee to create engaging and impactful events that can benefit all members of TechSoc. 

Thank you for your consideration and I hope to have your support. :D

Hi, I am Aish, running for the Vice President position at TechSoc! I spent the previous summer leading a global team of 7 to organise an online tech for good conference in schools in India. This involved hosting speakers, obtaining sponsorships and coordinating workshops for a 400+ attendance. I am prepared to bring my leadership experience, fresh ideas and enthusiasm to this role. If elected, I will:

1. Organise and launch TechSoc’s very first conference. The tech scene is massive with the option to work in FinTech, AR/VR, Cybersecurity and numerous other sectors. What better way to learn about the opportunities available than a themed event which connects you to industry experts across these different fields?
2. Start a mentorship scheme for members. I know first-hand how beneficial a mentor can be, from answering questions about their career journey to helping you reflect on your progress and goals. By being matched to a mentor working in a technical role (e.g., Software Engineering, Data Science) or non-coding role (e.g., Product Management), you’ll have a chance to find the job role that’s right for you and gain a point of call for your professional development!
3. Support the committee in hosting regular socials, speaker events and workshops to foster a vibrant TechSoc community and, most importantly, bring you a bigger and better annual hackathon next year!

Keen to see these in action? I’d appreciate it if you could vote for me!
