Cypriot and Hellenic Society: Vice President

Dear fellow Cypriots and Greeks,

My name is George Katochianos and I am a Greek 2nd year Mechanical Engineering with Business Finance student. Having grown up in Greece for the majority of my life, contributing towards expanding the vibrant Cypriot and Hellenic community in UCL is one of the many reasons for why I am standing for Vice-President. This will involve collaborating mainly with the society's President, as well as the rest of the committee, in a joint effort to provide all members with a smooth and enjoyable experience throughout the year. Inevitably, I will aid in organizing various events, ranging from social gatherings all the way to career panels, to involve as many members as possible and strengthen the community for the future. Therefore, I urge you to join me in achieving such goals and further develop our society!

Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ για την προσοχή σας και καλή συνέχεια!

My passion for organizing events and my commitment to helping everyone in our community drives my desire to run for this position. Throughout my time at university, I have come to realise how essential it is to have a supportive and active society where everyone can feel welcomed and connected.

I believe that through well-planned and engaging events, we can enhance our university experience, foster lasting friendships, and open doors to new opportunities. I am committed to listening to your needs and working hard to make sure that our events are enjoyable, meaningful, and valuable in helping you meet new people and socialise in a friendly environment. 

Interesting ideas and proposals for next year:

- More and bigger Greek Nights and Extenxes Vradies
- A fair allocation system of tickets for events of the society
- Partnership with the Cypriot Federation in London - Common events with Cypriots of the Diaspora
- BBQ - FOUKOUES !!!! (We have already purchased a few foukoues and we are ready to organize many gatherings with the support of...souvlakia, sheftalia and halloumi!)
- Sports and Games: 1)Football: design ideas for football kits and participation in local tournaments 2) Tavli tournament 3) Bingo Night 4) Padel outings 5) Group Runs 6) Cypriot/Greek dances workshops
