Rochelle Ababio

The events held during my first term at UCL made me realise the impact frequent and consistent events can have on your well-being and life at university. I am standing for this role so I can continue to foster strong community engagement within this society and help create meaningful and memorable experiences during students’ time at UCL.

In this role I would focus on balancing weekly recreational ‘Afterschool club’ events aimed at spaces to drop in and meet friends in an unstructured informal setting, alongside more structured events I enjoyed this year such as Meet and Eats, Debate Nights and socials. Attending Arts & Crafts Fridays as a part of the Panafrik preparation has been a great chance to connect with people weekly and I would love to launch this again next year on a bigger scale. I would also work alongside other committee members to organise conferences and help manage the Panafrik showcase.

Here are a list of events i would like to hold if i am elected:

• An ‘afterschool club’.
• More pub and quiz socials.
• Karaoke Nights.
• Independence day events.
• And more events held at black owned businesses.

I am passionate about using community events to help students find their footing when starting university and make life-long friends through their university journey. I would be grateful for the opportunity to join the 26/27 ACS committee.
