Shreyas Garapati

Namaste Telugu Soc, my name is Shreyas, and I would love your vote for events and outreach officer! My aim is to help grow Telugu soc and organise events throughout the year with others to celebrate our vibrant culture and language (while having a bit of fun of course!)

My Experience:

• Having been the Year 1 welfare representatives, I have a good understanding of how to communicate efficiently and collaborate with multiple people.
• This has also helped improve my organisation, having given me experience in planning tasks with multiple stages and sticking to tight deadlines.
• Being able to speak Telugu means that I will be able to collaborate with other Telugu speakers.
• I have a good understanding of how the union works and the processes that take place to set up an event.

Some things I’d like to do:

• Collaborate with other societies to have some mixed events so that they can have a larger scope.
• Collaborate with other Universities’ Telugu societies to have some joint events, share ideas, and meet other Telegu students at different universities.
• Run a ‘Food Festival’ where we all bring in/ make Telugu foods and can have a potluck.
• Host a cultural quiz night.
• Try and run a language workshop for both beginners and experts.
• Be open to any other ideas from members that sound exciting.
