Bartlett School of Architecture Society: Vice-President

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.

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!
