By encouraging strong relationships and building community, events are incredibly important to the success of societies. I feel that this is particularly true to BBI, as the nature of the society means we primarily spend time with the people in our research teams and can only connect with people outside of our teams through social events. This makes events crucial to creating a cohesive and welcoming society.
As School President a key aspect of my role was organising social events to create a stronger sense of community amongst my cohort following school closures and lockdowns, and I successfully organised highly attended social events every month that brought my cohort together. A significant part of my role was also organising prom, which required me to lead a team in setting strict budgets, fundraising, and finding London venues within our price range. These skills would help me successfully organise BBI social events and the annual research conference. As part of the Leading Change in the Anthropocene Seminar Series organising committee at UCL, I gained experience organising academic events, contacting speakers, and developing contacts. These experiences make me feel confident that I could organise successful events for BBI.
