Election post
In my very first year living in London, JSOC has gifted me the warmest welcome and friendships that last a lifetime. That would be impossible without this year's officers designing and realising the many engaging events throughout the year; rarely have other cultural societies been as encompassing in their endeavours as we do. As I run for the next events officer, I also intend to carry on that same passion. But a new year also means change, and I believe there are places where I could bring innovation to.
Attending the Japan-UK symposium in Cambridge has inspired me to host events tailored towards specific academic interests. I believe JSOC members of different universities studying the same courses should have opportunities to meet with one another as a platform for networking that could benefit us beyond graduation. I also wish to expand our partnership with various UK-Japan relations organisations, such as the Daiwa Anglo Foundation and THE Japan Society, exploring the possibility of more joint cultural, educational and networking events. My veteran experience in chairing numerous MUN conferences guarantees that I have the communications skills necessary for these jobs. As we welcome spring, JSOC should also seize the chance to have more outdoor events such as a sakura viewing picnic. There are many other events I have in mind of achieving with confidence as the next events officer, so I sincerely invite you to join me in making that happen. Thank you! ありがとう ございます!
