Hi! I am an undergraduate Anthropology student who grew up in London surrounded by Ethiopian culture. As your events officer I would be able to exhaust my connections while also building new ones to ensure the best opportunities for you. This includes enriching events which can be physical or also academic. These events can include collaboration with other universities as well, allowing for further networking. My main aim is to build a community within our society for those who love Habesha culture through networking social events. I ask that you will vote for me to ensure yourself an events officer who will listen to you and accommodate your preferences to enjoy more frequent events within Habesha society! Thank you!
Hey, I'm Aya and I'm a first year Politics and IR student and I am half-Sudanese and half-Eritrean; I'm running to be the events officer for the Habesha society as I want to make more people feel welcome to come to our society events.
I have had experience in organising events for charity, whether that be private events or events for a large group of people, such as community events in my estate where I helped organise events for over 200 residents. As your events officer, I can promise you that my organisational skills and expertise in event planning makes me the most suitable candidate for the job. I will liaise with members of the committee to create events which cater to everyone's needs, whether that be through having a girls night or doing events in collaboration with other societies, not just at UCL but other universities too!
Ultimately as your events officer I would love to create events which everyone can enjoy. Some things I would hope to put into place would be as follows:
- Regular email and social media updates about events so you don't forget
- More events that allow the society to work alongside charities to raise awareness about the issues impacting our people
- Having a culture night in collaboration with other universities so we can meet new people and share our experiences being Habesha
I believe that my experience in event planning on a large scale provides me with the necessary skills to be your events officer.
Vote Aya to be your Habesha soc events officer now:)
