Election post

Status
Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

I'm Avanija and I'm a 3rd Year MSci Astrophysics student.

  • As a Course Rep since 1st year, I discussed workload, teaching and examinations, with positive results through frequent meetings with the faculty and consistently taking student feedback. For my hard-work and dedication, I was nominated as the ‘Academic Representative of the Year 2020/2021’.
  • As the Vice-President of UCL Physics Society, I developed strong ties with the faculty and staff through leading the society and holding large-scale events like a winter ball. Hence, I’m aware of various resources to act on students’ feedback. 
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
  • By representing UCL at the National Union of Students, I debated and discussed policies, reforms and student experience with student representatives across the UK. Here, I studied students’ issues and possible solutions. I’ll implement this experience as your Faculty Rep to enhance your UCL experience.
  • This year, I’ll improve the implementation of research projects and internships, as well as establish more networking opportunities that are advertised more efficiently, which will improve our career prospects. 
Please summarise why students should vote for you.

As the Campus Ambassador for Institute of Physics, I organised events with societies and other universities, including an inter-uni careers event by networking with faculty and staff. This strengthened my network, which would be vastly beneficial for this role.

My experience in leadership through various societies and having been a Course Rep for the 3rd year has made me well-equipped for this role as I am aware of all the resources, connections and strategies to represent you in the most effective way possible. 

Your vote ensures my promise to continue my endeavours for our faculty.
