Bartlett School of Architecture Society: Vice-President

Hi I'm Vi! I am an MSci Architecture student, and have been actively involved in the Bartlett Architecture Society for three years, serving as Society Media Officer (2024-25). Additionally, I was the 2024-25 UG Student Representative of the Bartlett Faculty of Built Environment, and am the current Architecture Department and MSci Architecture Programme Representative, consistently advocating for students and fostering a more connected Bartlett community.

With extensive experience in student leadership and society engagement, I am more than qualified for the role. I understand the society’s structure, its impact, and its potential. I will aim to strengthen student connections across years and programs, ensuring that the society remains an inclusive, collaborative, and dynamic platform.

I pioneered the annual MSci cross-year events to break down barriers and build friendships. I want to expand this success by introducing more interdepartmental events and fostering collaboration within and beyond architecture.

As your Vice President, I will ensure that student voices actively shape the society. By implementing pre-event polls and post-event surveys, I will close the feedback gap and tailor events to student interests. I will make sure that the society offers something for everyone! Expect more engaging workshops, socials, and hands-on activities—opportunities to learn, connect, and celebrate creativity! 

Vote for me, and let's make next year the most exciting one yet!

I have always been passionate about engaging in social activities and contributing to the communities I am part of. This is why I am nominating myself for Vice President of Bartlett Society—to use this platform to make Bartlett a place where debates happen and encounters flourish.

During high school, I served as the Chair of the Student Union, where I initiated a music festival with 4,000 attendees and student-school conversations that have since become a school tradition. As someone who thrives on new ideas, I excel at connecting different activities into cohesive, inspiring experiences.

Being in Bartlett has further fueled my creativity. This year, I am particularly focused on expanding academic-based discussions. Current talks at Bartlett and Bartlett Society remain largely one-way dialogues, with a clear divide between "guest" and "audience." I want to introduce a more interactive, two-way format that fosters direct engagement with speakers. (Proposals have already been submitted to the 2024-25 committee.)This is just the beginning. With strong planning and collaboration skills, I believe I can take the team to create bold, experimental, and meaningful activities that align with the President’s mission for Bartlett Society this year.

Ultimately, I am standing for Vice President not only to challenge myself but to contribute my ambition toward making Bartlett an even more vibrant and dynamic space. 

Make Debates Happen. Let Encounters Flourish.
