I'm standing to be social secretary of the society as I believe that a small community like us should be tightknit, and the best way to achieve this is through frequent gatherings and events that enrich members and allow them to enjoy each others company outside of lectures and seminars.

I believe that I'm a very social person. Before the year started, I reached out to many course members on social media so I could then create the groupchat that connected us all in first year, and that we still use now. In doing this, I felt I got to know many individuals in the course quite well, providing them with a friendly face for when the academic year started. I would like to continue doing something like this, by organising and running socials for everyone in the society. I have experience in doing this, as I was chair of the Politics Society in sixth form, where I organised events and dinners for politics students and other society members. On top of this, I am organized, cheerful and extroverted, meaning I would be welcoming face for the society. I have very good attendance, (for lectures/seminars and socials) and I would fully engage with this position without slacking on my studies.

Overall, I would love to be social secretary as I love meeting new people with similar interests to me, and I enjoy organising social gatherings and academic events for those around me. Whether a pub crawl, or visiting speaker, I'll put 100% effort into making this society enjoyable for all members.
