Biology: Academic Events Officer

I was the Academic Events officer last year and was successful in organising academic talks, bioinformatics workshops, guided tours in Kew, tea afternoons and many other events.

I am again standing for this position because of 3 main reasons-

1) Prior experience- I was able to collaborate, organise and communicate well with the BioSoc committee

2) Listening- I believe listening to another persons’ opinion is as important as voicing your own. I am open minded, able to comprehend issues and find better solutions.

3) Commitment- I believe in taking care of all my duties responsibly and fulfilling them with dedication and hard work.

In the last 2 years I have gone through rough patches, been a part of multiple societies and found a way to make Imperial feel like home. I understand the importance of social academic events and how to organise interesting and enjoyable talks, workshops and trips.

This year I plan on coming up with new ideas alongside your valuable participation, to ensure an enjoyable and eventful year ahead!

I plan to:

Organise events where students can interact like social gatherings, academic talks, workshops, day trips
Set up online groups for sharing academic doubts where older students can help and share resources
Create anonymous forums for voicing sensitive issues including issues regarding the stress and fast- paced environment at Imperial
Organise study groups where topics of discussion can be decided unanimously

The best of the best come to Imperial, I believe we can make that even better!
