Ukrainian Society: Social Secretary

As a Ukrainian citizen who pursued my education in England, I've encountered challenges that gave me motivation to excel. Witnessing the intricate interplay between global economics and political dynamics firsthand has fueled my ambition to leave a meaningful mark. I have spent a large part of my life living in Ukraine, hence, I am currently willing to share my deep knowledge about the culture with the whole world. In seeking the role of the Social Secretary of the Ukrainian Society, I bring forth a blend of top-tier education received in both higher education institutions in Ukraine and in the UK. My deep-rooted pride in the Ukrainian culture, coupled with my organisational skills and enthusiasm for community engagement, makes me a perfect fit for this position. In June 2021, I worked in the Ukrainian Government with the Agrarian and Land Committee, demonstrating my strong connection to the Ukrainian society and its needs. In addition to my hands-on experience, I bring a creative flair and innovative mindset to the table. I am eager to explore new ideas and initiatives that will enhance the social fabric of our society and attract a diverse range of members. As Social Secretary, I am dedicated to ensuring that our events are inclusive for everyone to ensure the promotion of the Ukrainian culture. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with fellow members and contribute to the vibrant social life of our community.

Hi there, my name is Sasha, and I am a first-year Politics, Sociology, and East European Studies student at SSEES. I am running to be your Social Secretary in our ever-expanding community at the UCL Ukrainian Society:)

As the student representative for my course, I have experience in ensuring clear communication between professors and students, skills which I hope to hone when conveying our members’ opinions, thoughts, and concerns to further elevate our community and, most importantly, have fun. I believe in representing all voices and aspects of our community so that together we can create a welcoming space where all feel valued and respected.

The power of connection is something very important to me. As Social Secretary, I would be committed to organising engaging events and activities that bring our members together, spark new connections, and foster bonds that transcend borders and enrich our collective experience. Additionally, I am dedicated to creating a safe space with our events where everyone feels a sense of belonging, echoing our goal of creating a “home away from home”.

Privileged to have had three years of teaching experience, I have learnt how to find common language with people of different ages, backgrounds, and cultures. I am excited by the prospect of building upon this professional experience if given the opportunity to serve as your Social Secretary at UCL Ukrainian Society.

Slava Ukraïni!
