EFDS Soc: Secretary

I believe our cohort has enormous potential in academic and professional development. As Secretary, I aim to assist the EFDS Society team in organising events that foster the growth of our cohort.

My Goals

1. Connect Our Skills to Real-World Future Careers

  • Invite professionals from diverse industries, including investment banking, consulting, quants, hedge funds, academic research and more. Helps us understand how to apply our skill sets in real world.
  • Go beyond regular career talks, arrange 1-to-1 coffee chat opportunities to build personal connections, insights, and even potential referrals.

2. Promote Our Course to Industry

  • Actively advertise our EFDS course and cohort to companies and recruiters. Build a recognised reputation in the job market that helps make our applications stand out.
  • Invite companies for "Meet Our Cohort" networking sessions and student project showcases. Post updates on events, student achievements, and alumni success stories on social media platforms.

3. Seek Sponsorships & Support

  • Reach out to the Business School and external firms for sponsorship and partnership opportunities. Use funding to support events, workshops, and career initiatives.

4. Strengthen Our Student Community

  • Organise social events such as sports tournaments and craft workshops, aiming to bring people together, build friendships, and create a supportive environment beyond academics.

What I will Do as Secretary

1. Assist the President, Vice-President, and team members in bringing their ideas to life.

2. Act as a point of contact, collecting and communicating feedback from the cohort.

3. Handle meeting scheduling and document. Provide event coordination support.
