My Why?
2 terms into my Anthropology degree and not have I only fallen in love with the subject, I have fallen in love with the fellow classmates and the impact we have together. Yet, often as a first year student you can feel de-attached from the wider department as academically we have very few cross overs with other years. If I was to get this role this is a key aspect of my work as Communications and Social Media Officer - ensuring first years have the confidence to come along to events - even if it might feel daunting. Personally, as an academic rep this year I have found it invaluable to be able to speak to 2nd, 3rd, 4th years about there experiences, something which without this role- would not be possible.
Know you understand my passion and reasoning, why would I actually be good for this role?
- Organisation skills - from running EDI committee at school I am able to manage and ensure - announcements, communications can be communicated ahead of time and clearly
- Social Media and Design - I'm a stickler for detail and well versed with many design softwares to ensure posts are fun and engaging!
- Clear Communication - I might like a good chat but I know when to cut the fluff and get to the point and if I says so myself I write great emails!
Goals
- Increase Engagement across all years with Anth Soc (especially 1st yrs)
- Support committee on communicating plans, ideas and events
-
Make Anth Soc more accessibly through multi-media methods
Please vote for Sophia Whelan, for impact!!

Hi, I'm Louise, a second-year Archaeology and Anthropology student. As someone who has been a Transition Mentor and First-Year Academic Representative, I’ve worked closely with both the Anthropology and Archaeology departments - and I truly thrived in these roles. I love representing people and believe I’m a strong communicator. I’ve honed these skills further while managing social media and communications for a UK charity, and I’d love to bring this experience and approach to the Anthropology Society. Please vote for me if you trust someone who can hold everyone's fishing rods (pic).
