DoCSoc: Academic Events Coordinator

Hi,

I'm a 2nd computing student.

My goal as academic events coordinator is to get regular (hopefully weekly) talks by professors and students about their research, as in other departments. This was more difficult than expected this year in organising DoCSoc deep dives. Emailing lots of professors was quite inefficient.

So next year I hope to structure the process more with sign up forms and categories to get students speakers to sign up (talk about their final year projects for example). And also be more proactive, organising events well in advance.


I'd like the department to be a place where cool ideas fly around and DoCSoc has the resources to support that. I'd also like to continue doing general committee stuff especially organising ICHack
