93% Club Society: Treasurer

The 93% Club society has been a massive part of my UCL experience and has made a huge different to my student life, as I know it has for many others. Being President of the society in 2022-2023, I know what it takes to run this society. In 2022, the society was on the brink of being disaffiliated and there had been no socials or events from 2021 to 2022. From there, this society has blossomed, going from strength to strength. Under my presidency and with the help of my brilliant committee, we managed to finally establish socials, run events and most importantly create a vibrant community of state schoolers. 

This year, Chloe and the committee have done amazing work to carry this on, running many successful events an expanding our membership. Following their great work this year, and with the new faces and energy in the society, I am confident we can do even more.

Having already been President, I have decided to run for Treasurer as I feel my experience could still be extremely valuable in a leadership role, but it would be great if someone else with new ideas had the chance to be President and with my support, continue to lead this society successfully. I am familiar with the finances of the society, and with my experience of the previous year, I think that there is a real opportunity to increase our revenue and use our funds effectively to hold even more exciting and diverse events. 

Thanks for reading, and I would really appreciate your vote! :)

About me:

• I'm Samir, a first year BSc Social Sciences student and I am currently the first year representative for UCL’s 93% Club.
• I went to a non selective state secondary school and sixth form college, so I can relate to you if you have had a PE teacher for Maths or there being a fight in the classroom next door to mention a few of many issues my school had.
• I come from a diverse background being a person of colour (bit obvious), being half Filipino and half Bengali but being born and bred in the UK.
• I want to pursue a career in commercial law, currently being mentored by a top US law firm for the next three years and already securing places on open days and first year schemes, including firms that sponsor the 93% Club.

Why you should vote for me?

• As I am already on the committee for the society as the first year representative, I already have experience being on the committee and understand the workings and behind the scenes of the society.
• I will make sure your voices and concerns are heard and discussed amongst other committee members, no matter how small (or big) they are, to ensure that the society can be the best it can for you.
• I have been interested in social mobility and the education system since sixth form when I wrote my EPQ dissertation (half an A-Level equivalent) on state v private school education. At UCL, I have tailored most of my essays towards state school education within the respective discipline.
