Candidate for the position of Vice President Societies and Communication
Vote for me today and I will change YOUR tomorrow... Albin Sunny.
Hi, my name is Albin Sunny and I am currently undergoing a degree in Business Management and Marketing. I’m running because I want to become your SU Vice President Societies and communications.
I believe I will bring a new perspective and a different light to this role. I want to make sure I bring an open-minded approach. I like to think of myself as a people person; being social, friendly and approachable means that I will serve the role well.
I enjoy bringing different types of people together, whether this is my friends or work colleagues, this is another trait I believe makes me suited to the role. Being from a minority background myself, I have the drive to accomplish this.
There is so much more to university than just pursuing a degree. Societies have become a big factor in a day to day life of a student. I want to help every student benefit from the societies that are available and to create new ones; societies can be more than just a social but can encourage the development of essential skills.
My passion and motivation as an individual lead me to believe I could steer changes and make strides to show the importance of societies benefiting the university life.
I aim to:
Distributing funds
All societies need funding, however, do all societies have equal funding…..no.
• All societies, big or small, have consideration for an acceptable budget to keep running. • Schemes for societies that require increased funding to improve.
Collaboration of societies
• Encouraging societies to do combined events to help each other fundraise. • Increasing the opportunity to meet new people. • Giving opportunities to find common ground and interest through organised events.
Exposure of societies
• Personally, as a fresher, I wasn’t aware of many of the societies that are available. This can be similar for a lot of students. • Create a new level of awareness to reach out to all parts of the university. There will always be societies that can be beneficial to all types of students ranging from first years to the mature student
National Societies Awards
• The awards have potential to be a huge step in making the recognition of societies more formal. • Increase the awareness of what the awards entail.
