Bhangra Society: General Secretary

From the weekly classes to the fun times spent preparing for Rangeela, my Bhangra Society journey has been a core part of my first year at UCL. The friendships forged within our society have been invaluable. The supportive network of great people has enriched my university experience, and I'm deeply grateful for these lasting connections.

My decision to run for the committee stems from a desire to contribute to the society's thriving community. I aim to ensure incoming freshers have a similarly enriching experience, dedicated to the continuity and growth of our society.

Recognizing the hard work behind organising events, especially competitions and performances, I understand the administrative challenges. As General Secretary, I am committed to contributing to the efficient functioning of the society. I aim to make the administrative side seamless, better allowing our talented dancers to shine on stage and bring UCL bhangra to greater heights on the competitive front.

Additionally, I am enthusiastic about putting my jhumar obsession to good use and assisting in weekly classes and collaborating on events with the president and captains. I am dedicated to supporting the society in any administrative or organisational needs that may arise.

In conclusion, my candidacy for General Secretary reflects my genuine passion for the UCL Bhangra Society. With your support, I am confident in contributing to the continued success and flourishing of our community.

Hi guys, I’m Divy!

I’m running for General Sec. as I know I can contribute much to the society’s efficient running, through helping and assisting other committee members be as productive as possible. I know running a society requires much work and would like to help as much as possible. The more we can do for the members, the happier they’ll be!

The busiest periods for committee members are exam seasons and times of competitions/performances, so at this time I’d love to alleviate some pressure and tension from the shoulders of my fellow committee members.

A few of the practical things/activities I would love to help with: circulating information via emails and social media, creating an anonymous reporting form and advertising it, help with collaboration with other societies such as Yoga and Meditation society and finally, for those thinking about performing at shows and competitions such as The Bhangra Showdown, around these times it is important to remember that taking care of your body is equally as important as taking care of your mind and so around this times I could send a mini-guide to performers of how to keep yourself healthy, including: general reminders to drink enough water, have down-time to relax and more.

I am confident that I can be a valuable member of the society and the committee. So, I hope you vote for me to be your General Secretary and let me show you what I can do for you. A happy society is a successful one with happy members!

Thank you, Divy
