Hi, I'm Alex, a 3rd-year DesEng student. I've greatly enjoyed my time on the DesSoc committee, participating in the society's events and opportunities.
I hope to bring the experience I've gained from my roles on both DesSoc (Social Events Manager) and other societies (treasurer/publicity officer for A Cappella), giving me a strong understanding of union procedures. I'm a team player deeply invested in Imperial's extra-curricular community.
As President, I want to achieve great things with DesSoc next year:
- DesSoc Design Show: A full-day event in a modern London venue, showcasing student and faculty work, featuring a booklet, posters, and alumni/lecturer talks to connect us with industry experts, family, and schools, to raise the profile of Design Engineering.
- The Skills Directory: I will create an accessible student skills directory, highlighting achievements, placements, and skills, allowing students to easily find help from experienced peers, like Freddie Nicholson for Swift or Dylan Hoang for Blender (to name a few), fostering a more collaborative environment.
- I will build an active alumni community by hosting sponsored catch-up events, connecting current students with our valuable alumni network for mentorship and networking opportunities.
- Also, I will establish a Master's network through early-year networking events, fostering connections between all courses. This will be done with casual events like a fun board game night!
Alongside our fun social events, I want to enhance our departments profile and expand both DesSoc's and your personal networks. If you like what you see, please vote for me!
