Nneka Elumelu

My time serving as First-Year Representative in ACS has prepared me to take on the responsibility of President with confidence, clarity, and commitment. Being on committee has given me real insight into the dedication, organisation, and teamwork required to run a society like ours. I have been actively involved behind the scenes: supporting events, contributing ideas, listening to feedback, and ensuring first years felt welcomed, represented, and included. This experience has strengthened my commitment to ACS and inspired me to take on greater responsibility and continue building on this work next year as President. 

As someone who is from Nigeria and lived there for half my life before moving to the UK for school, creating spaces for the African and Caribbean diaspora abroad is deeply personal to me. I understand how important it is to find community away from home, and I want ACS to continue being that space of belonging, pride, and connection.

ACS has shaped my first year in the best way. I have loved our Meet’n’Eats, bowling nights, pub quizzes, and events like Take Me Out. As President, I want to keep that energy while ensuring our events remain inclusive, impactful, and fun for every member. If you want a President who is committed, experienced, and ready to build on the legacy of ACS, vote for Nneka.
