DoCSoc: President

Hello DoCSoC member.
While much brilliant progress has been made in improving DoCSoC over the past years, many basic needs of students have gone unaddressed.

As your president, I believe by addressing these issues we can bring DoCSoC into a new golden age of department-friendly fun!

I promise to:

  1. Work with the department to introduce 2 society owned lab cats. This will both benefit student mental health, and deter rodents.
  2. Increase the variety of pizza provided at DoCSoC events, including hawaiian and meat feast.
  3. Work with the department to renovate the labs 'tea room' to offer a selection of free snacks, two microwaves, and greater fridge space.
  4. Embezzle docsoc funds to purchase a hydropool signature collection jacuzzi
  5. Increase the number of whiteboards and bean bags in labs, as well as adding mood lighting to mimick sunlight & sunset conditions.
  6. Broaden the goal of IC Hack from being purely a hackathon, to being a department festival, offering more activities for those who don't want to hack, but instead drink, get free snacks and karaoke.
  7. Simplify the capitalisation of 'DoCSoc' to 'docsoc'
  8. Graduate before the union gets wise about 4.

In addition to these goals, by voting for me you are helping to prevent the infamous 'Robbie Buxton' from winning his final opportunity to be DoCSoC president.

If this has not convinced you, then please see the associated campaign poster of cute kittens - and imagine spending the coming years in labs stressed, snackless, alone and with not a single tabby in sight.
