Genetics Society: Associate Officer

As associate officer, I will keep people engaged with the Genetics Society through communication that is clear, engaging, and impossible to ignore. My name is Khaleem Hasham and being a good Associate Officer is in my blood (and my genes). I have a clear plan for the future of GenSoc’s communication through consistent messaging, two-way engagement, and lots of fun!

I will ensure every GenSoc event is clearly promoted and every member knows how to get involved. I will also serve as a reliable point for communication, contributing to keeping the club running smoothly. My goal is to increase participation in our events, from academic events to pub socials, across all year groups. I'll introduce more fun events, interactive group chat engagement, and more post-event feedback forms to shape our future.

Having served as Social Media Officer for the National Honor Society and designed promotional material for Friends of GEE, I understand how structured communication creates participation. Vote for me, and I promise to use this experience to effectively contribute to GenSoc.
 

I am a second-year BSc Biomedical Sciences (Stream 3: Developmental Biology) student, and I have been a member of this society for two years. The lab visits, journal clubs, and conferences have greatly developed my ability to analyse primary research and discuss scientific ideas critically, and now I want to help create those same experiences for others.

In this role, I would work collaboratively with the committee to organise diverse and engaging events, while ensuring members' academic interests and feedback help shape future sessions.

Having benefited so much from this society, I would be honoured to give back.
