Mathematics: Publicity Officer

Hello voters! I'm Allen, an applied math student, and I am running for a role as a Publicity Officer for MathSoc.

As the current journal editor of ‘Achaemeneans’ and having previously designed a range of posters for magazines and advertisements, I have profound experience in creating all sorts of content for the promotion of events, opportunities, and merchandise!

I have noticed that while MathSoc newsletters are informative, their readability could be improved. As a publicity officer, I will prioritise enhancing the newsletters’ format via:

  • Implementing a clear and well-defined email structure by categorisation of events, streamlining navigation.
  • Replacing large imagery with short texts that still present all necessary information, resizing any smaller imagery to accommodate phone users.
  • Utilising regular surveys to find what members want and planning events accordingly.

Aside from emails, I will be creating and maintaining a dedicated inbox for feedback and forwarding high-quality responses to the committee. Your feedbacks are essential for our improvements!

I also plan to reach a greater audience on Instagram and LinkedIn via:

  • Posting (bi)weekly mathematics problems & recent research highlights.
  • Showcasing member projects & achievements (under their permission).

Above all, I believe teamwork is the foundation of any society. I will collaborate closely with the Career Officer to deliver valuable professional opportunities, the Webmaster to publish up-to-date content on our societal website, and the leaders to make outreach engaging and insightful.

Thank you for your time and vote for me for a more compelling, more enjoyable, and more connected MathSoc!
