Dawud Khan

STEM Muslims Society: Chair

As-salaamu ‘alaykum,
I’m Dawud, and I’m running to be the next Chair of STEM Muslims Society.

I’ve been part of STEMM since first year — starting as a fresher rep, then serving as Events Head. Over that time, I’ve helped deliver careers fairs, panel talks, and cross-campus collaborations that brought real value to our members. Every step has been rewarding, and I’m eager to keep building on that momentum.

But STEMM is more than just a professional network. It exists to empower Muslim students in Science, Tech, Engineering and Maths while staying rooted in our deen. It’s a space where growth, ambition and Islamic values come together.

I hope to:

Grow our professional reach by building on the Careers Fair, bringing in speakers from a wider range of industries, and exploring ways to connect members with mentorship and internship opportunities.
Elevate student development through technical workshops, soft skills sessions, and project-based initiatives that encourage leadership and collaboration.
Strengthen our community through regular socials, reflective spaces, and events that keep our deen at the heart of what we do.
Expand outreach and inspire the next generation through meaningful school programmes, STEM days, and initiatives like the Haqqathon — a creative space combining tech with purpose.
Support global education by promoting opportunities like Education Beyond Borders, enabling students to teach disadvantaged learners remotely.

I believe STEMM can be a platform for excellence, connection and long-term change. I’m ready to lead with sincerity, structure, and a clear focus on keeping our values at heart.
