Darasimi Adesina

I would like to run for the role of ACS Events Officer because I want to be involved in creating memorable events that bring our community together to celebrate African and Caribbean culture. One of the early ACS events this year helped me find my community on campus, so I would love to contribute and give back to ACS by planning and creating even better events for future members. 

I already have experience planning large events. In Year 13, I was involved in organising our school prom, which required a lot of coordination between different groups of people to ensure the event ran smoothly. I also helped organise a Culture Day at my school, which celebrated our different cultures through clothing, food and a talent show. This experience showed me how meaningful well-prepared events can be in bringing people together to share their backgrounds and create a sense of community.

If elected, I would aim to organise a variety of events that appeal to different interests within ACS, from social events like creating families within ACS to help members connect, to cultural events that celebrate our heritage and allow the wider university community to engage with African and Caribbean cultures. Please vote for me as one of your next Events Officers, as I would love to be involved in creating exciting events for ACS next year that members genuinely enjoy and remember!!
