Tamil Society: President

I'd like to be the president of the UCL Tamil Society because I believe it's important to promote diversity in the university while also preserving and celebrating our Tamil history. By participating in the activities, celebrations, and events that this society will host during the year, I hope to give back to this organisation with my time and efforts, enhancing the academic experience of its members. My goal would be to use my communication and organisational abilities to help plan events and meetings and make sure that everyone feels welcome and included.

In the future I plan on starting up a showcase or competition such as Mega Maalai or KOG so that UCL Tamil Society isn’t just secluded to only UCL students and welcomes students from other universities. I would like to organise events such as meet and greets, games nights and movie nights for people to socialise. I would also like to raise awareness for days such as Maaverar Naal to commemerate the fallen heroes of Tamil Eelam and organise workshops such as Gaana dance for people to partake in as well as aid form a winning team of Kings of Gaana this year.

I love being a part of a team and I strongly believe that my strong communication skills add a lot of value here. For example, at Panithuli, me and a few committee members worked efficiently at ticketing to make sure it was a seamless procedure as well as running errands to grab any last-minute items needed for the successful event.  From this experience, I thoroughly enjoyed this management role and strongly

I would love to be the next President of the UCL Tamil Society because I firmly believe in advancing diversity within the university while honouring and celebrating our Tamil heritage. Engaging in the society's events throughout the year, I aim to contribute my time and efforts to enrich the academic journey of its members. My objective is to use my communication and organisational skills to facilitate the planning of events and meetings.

Having served as Head of Freshers last year, I found great satisfaction in my role, I am eager to embrace greater responsibilities now. Throughout the past year, I have actively contributed ideas for our freshers, whether it be organising games nights or involving first-year reps in vital tasks. Moreover, I aspire to organise various social events including meet and greets and games nights. It is also my goal to raise awareness about significant days such as Maaveerar Naal, honouring the sacrifices of Tamil Eelam heroes.

I thrive in collaborative environments and believe that my strong communication skills greatly enhance team dynamics. For instance, during Panithuli, I collaborated with fellow committee members to efficiently manage ticketing, ensuring the smooth execution of the event. Drawing from this experience, I am enthusiastic about stepping into a management role and believe I'm ready for the next level of leadership.

Thank you for considering my application. (And if you're voting, consider Thanusan too - we're in this together).
