Elected
In my First Year, ASN has given me so much power and pride in celebrating my Asian heritage. The infectiously bubbly and welcoming energy emulated across the room during my first ASN event overwhelmed me with a comfort I didn’t know I needed at the start of university. As President, I intend to continue cultivating this home-away-from-home energy for our club next year!
As President, I intend to focus on two things:
- Increase the frequency of events by collaborating with other clubs to host events!
I love how close-knit our club is, and also understand that this comes with constraints in human power. By collaborating with other clubs (bbt soc, Bhangra soc), we'll be able to increase the scale of event planning whilst meeting new people :)
- Incorporate a diverse range of Asian cultures in our events by integrating even more South, Southeast and Western Asian cultures!
To achieve this, I aim to first increase club visibility (e.g. pop-up cultural game booths on main quad!) = Get more members representing different cultures = Take event suggestions from members at the start of term = Increase cultures represented at our events!
As for previous experience, I spearheaded a tutoring programme for underprivileged kids disproportionately affected by COVID, as well as a financial literacy programme for my secondary school. So, whilst this will be my first time leading a cultural club, I am confident that with our members, we can make ASN a thriving and welcoming space for all! :)
