Activities & Engagement Officer

Hi, I'm Audrey! 

As the Activities & Engagement Officer, I lead all aspects of Activities within the Union, with a strong focus on the exciting worlds of sports, arts, societies, and volunteering. 

From the lively Welcome Fair that kicks off the academic year to the spirited rivalry of Varsity and the grand celebrations of our end-of-year Awards, my role is to support and enhance the co-curricular and social experiences our students love and look forward to. Being at university is about more than just your degree. I aim to foster an inclusive and vibrant environment where every student can explore their passions, connect with friends, and create wonderful memories. 

I chair the Activities Zone and serve on the Union Executive.  I also sit on several other committees to ensure your interests are represented.

If you ever have any concerns about Activities within the Union, don't hesitate to reach out!

My Priorities

PriorityDescriptionUpdate
Lobbying for more activity spaces
  • Sports facilities
  • Club and Society storage

  • Promotion of Phineas Bar: I'm working on a couple things to help us promote Phineas Bar with the new vision of it being a sports bar, this will soon develop into us reaching out to specific sports clubs for a special rewards scheme in exchange for feedback on how to improve Phineas for student usage. 
Championing student leaders
  • Improving leadership training
  • Opportunities for skill development
  • ClubSoc Principal Officer Whatsapp Community: About to launch this soon after taking some feedback from members of Activity Zone. It's going to be an informal space where student leaders can share knowledge, collaborate, discuss common challenges, and learn from one another. 
  • ExtendED outreach: Alongside the team in UCL, we're starting to plan next year's ExtendED programme and I'm doing work on figuring out what students want out of co-curricular activities that run beside their exam timetable - I'm aiming for us to cater to a variety of needs whether it's people wanting extensive professional development or people just wanting a st
Increasing community engagement 
  • Encouraging collaboration between student groups and local charities
