Election post
I believe that networking with professionals, gaining real-world investment experience and the opportunity to discover new career paths mean that the events are the core of the UCL Investment Society. Events like the flagship Finance Conference are what drives the student members, alumni and professionals to create relationships with each other. Having been deputy house captain at my secondary school where I organised fortnightly morning assemblies for students and having formally interviewed a university professor last year, I want to combine my experiences to organise attractive events for members and for guests to speak at.
Furthermore, I would like for there to be an increased frequency of events and make the process of connecting with professionals easier so that the number of new potential relationships can be optimised. I would also like to work closely with outreach and marketing so that an increased number of expert professionals can present to larger audiences of students and members, so that both parties can fully benefit from the opportunity and that Investment Society continues being the leading society that equips students with knowledge and skills to pursue a financial career.
