Hey, my name’s Vel and I’m a first year Diagnostic Radiography student (: I’ve been involved in this Society since joining in November 2020 and am eager to make this society a safer space for people to be themselves, express their thoughts and opinions, and be comfortable being who they really are, without the fear of being targeted or having abuse thrown at them, as often happens within the gaming industry, especially against minorities, such as non-binary people.
Why would I make a good secretary?
-Having been a Game Ambassador previously, I am able to work with all members of the society, committee and non-committee, to organise events to make this a place where people can make friends and memories
-I’m prepared to be of benefit to the entire committee by keeping us organised and on track during regular meetings to ensure the upkeep and increase of activity within the society
-I would enjoy keeping up with emails, staying updated with the necessary and relevant information on things such as events and merch, and reaching out to external organisations for sponsorships, making society membership even more valuable
-Able to ensure constant and updated contact with different areas of the university to ensure events can run (such as room bookings)
Why Secretary?
-Sense of community
I hope to create a better sense of community within the society, allowing new and inactive members to feel as though they are able to engage in any situation
-Increase of events
There has been a lack of in real life and online events this year and I hope to encourage the frequency of events within the society
-New merch
The current raptors merch design could do with an update and new colourways, and I hope to help with that process ;D
