Election post
Hello! My name is YJ and I’m a first year IMB student. Growing up in Malaysia and Hong Kong, I appreciate how ABACUS has given international students a space to connect with each other, and I was lucky enough to make a lot of new friends here during my time in university. I’d love to give back to all of you guys by running as your Events Director.
My goal in this role would be to give each member of this society more of a say in what they want from ABACUS. Based on my own experience with planning events, I feel that having feedback after each event can tell us where improvements can be made. I would also like to allow members to vote for ideas for new events, as giving you guys a say will cater to a wider range of interests, making ABACUS an even more inclusive space than it already is. Personally, I’d be interested in bubble-tea making and matchmaking socials to make new friends.
In the past, I’ve been involved with planning events that are similar to some of the ones here in ABACUS. I was responsible for hosting internal school events, like game days, which helped build a stronger community by bringing students together. Additionally, during my Tatler internship, I assisted in organising high profile events, managing logistics and guest coordination. These experiences have developed my collaborative and organisational skills which I think would be extremely valuable for a society like ABACUS.
I hope that I can work with you all soon to make many unforgettable experiences.🙏
