Aadhavan Kathirgamarajah

Hi everyone, I’m Aadhavan, and I would be delighted to run for Vice President next year as I believe I have the skillset to help make major decisions and introduce new ideas to the committee.

Being in the subcom gave me insight into working as a team, hosting the right events, and helping out with MM. This taught me the importance of having the right people on board and increasing the reach of an event like MM - something I believe I can help with and grow to larger audiences.

Running events like MM requires the right collaborations, and I see working with new universities as a potential pathway for the event's and committee’s growth.

I also have hands-on experience working with charities like Wings of Hope, where I led a team of six and raised over £2k to help children in India and Malawi receive an education. This journey taught me many skills, especially communicating with a large audience and being able to sell something.

Another key reason I want this role is to help involve our society and others, bringing awareness and better understanding of our Tamil history, which I am passionate about exploring. It would be a pleasure to be part of the committee showcasing our Tamil identity.
