Hi everyone! I am Peter Zhang, and I am standing for UCL Computer Science Society General Secretary. In my role as Director of Mentorships at UCL TechSoc, I led the successful inaugural mentorship program, demonstrating my ability to initiate and lead impactful projects. This program significantly enhanced the learning and networking opportunities for our members, illustrating my organisational skills and dedication to improving the society.

Additionally, my active involvement in organising and participating in society events and hackathons showcases my leadership qualities and my enthusiasm for bringing the CS and winder UCL communities together. These experiences have equipped me with the skills and vision necessary to lead the UCL CSS effectively.

My plans for CSS for the 2024/25 academic year includes the following goals:

  1. Increased connectedness and dialogue with industry, by leveraging my professional connections (from firms such as Jane Street, Goldman Sachs, and BCG) and those of the department and committee
  2. A massive-scale flagship hackathon featuring collaborations with numerous London institutions
  3. Utilise the UCL & CSS alumni network to help members network with professionals in their interested fields
  4. Host a variety of workshops and speaker events to align with members' career goals
