Some of my achievements this year as your Activities & Engagement Officer include:

Please summarise why students should vote for you.
As your current Activities & Engagement Officer I have worked hard to improve student life at UCL, gaining lots of experience working with clubs & societies. Although I have made some great progress, by making Varsity better, increasing inter-society collaboration, and engaging more students, there is still lots more to do. Speaking to students, I understand their key issues and being in the role I have already developed key relationships with UCL and SU staff, allowing me to tackle these easier.
I will provide more space, more funding, and more opportunities.
Student Life Is For Everyone!
