English Society: President

Hi! I'm Sophie, a first year undergraduate for English. As a social ambassador for the society, I am currently organising a pub crawl to encourage for societal interaction and to aid in the development of a community. I am also helping in organising other events, including this year's ball! Through this role, I have had the opportunity to learn from the current committee, developing the skills necessary to take a larger role in the team next year. Having been chair of a similar society (a Lit & Phil society), I have prior applicable leadership experience. I have enjoyed my first year of university and building a community around me, and I would be honoured to help other people, new to university, to settle in and have a similar, positive, experience. As President, I would commit myself to growing the society, increasing participation, from all people, and collaboration. I would continue the workshops and talks led by the previous committee, whilst increasing and providing a wider range of socials and other opportunities. I love both working in a team and on my own, and have the time and, I believe, the abilities to run the society in a fun and constructive way. As a volunteer in a local primary school helping with reading, and training to be a volunteer to teach Afghan women English, I am focused on giving back to the community that has given so much to me, and would build a charity initiative to the society, allowing those who wanted to a path to help others. Thank you!
