Loon Wei Foo

Hello! I’m Loon Wei and here’s why I’m running for VP: Beyond my absolute love for hiking, my experiences in UCLHSS led to a desire to 

1. Contribute to a greater capacity in planning
2. Foster a more expansive community
3. Have a hand in shaping the direction that the future committee decides on! 

Why me? 

1. Prior leadership/planning experiences: Alongside heading student leadership boards, in my military service I’ve planned countless exercises for up to 300 people.
2. Sociable: I love company and having conversations with new people, especially through our hikes/residentials :D
3. Hiking experiences: Been through some pretty extreme (solo) situations, so I definitely can and will have the ENERGY to take on anything! 

Since residentials are no longer part of the jobscope, it truly is a blank canvas to paint. If elected, these are the key pillars to my vision as VP under the C4 Framework. 

1. Continuity - Focusing on laying firm foundations for new initiatives like the Magazine as well as inter-hiking competitions planned by the previous committee.
2. Community-Building - Balancing more events between avid and casual hikers and continuing building this sense of community beyond just mere interest.
3. Centralization- Lower the barrier to entry for receiving information through a consolidated platform and improving engagement (since there’s just SO MANY events we do)
4. Concessions - (attempting to) SECURE EXCLUSIVE SPONSORSHIPs - PRIVILEGES AND DISCOUNTS FOR ALL HIKING MEMBERS!!
