With Quant becoming such an eventful field today, I hope to play a pivotal role in growing the quant community at UCL. The society currently has many amazing learning opportunities for members, but here are some ideas I intend on implementing as head of events:

     1. Interactive Speaker Events - Nothing compares to first hand experience, and I hope to invite guest speakers to give insights into their careers and tips on how to break into the field. I hope to make these events more interactive as well, for example by involving attendees and speakers in real-life scenarios and simulations to examine how someone would have to handle such a situation in industry.

     2. Inclusive Events - I believe that societies should be aware of members who are beginners in a field, and keep them involved regardless of experience. As head of events, I will work to choose and plan events to foster a culture of inclusion within the UCL Quant community to help increase our outreach while furthering members’ understanding of the field. With London being so involved in Quant, there is no shortage of possible events - Bar stock exchange social anyone?

     This year, as President of Hindu Society I was able to gain firsthand experience on how to run a society, plan budgets and organise events while abiding by the rules and regulations of the Students’ Union. I believe I have the experience to plan successful, impactful events for Quant Society and hope to gain your vote to do so!
