This year I’ve had the honour of being the Treasurer for UTSoC. I am so grateful for this experience, it has been so rewarding and helped me expand my horizons both professionally and personally. I’ve gained valuable experience with managing budgets, grants and accounting for expenditure. Through the nature of my role as treasurer I have been able to work behind the scenes in all portfolios and watch all their amazing projects blossom from the early planning stages. I’m so proud to be a part of such a hardworking society and I am so thankful to the amazing UTSoC committee for making this experience as amazing as it has been. I would like to especially thank Cordelia, Izzy and Ainsley for being incredible leaders and my awesome treasurer junior Harry for stepping up and being an incredible help. I am so excited to see what UTSoC does next!

Being a part of the UTSoC team in 2019 has meant that I’ve been surrounded by the most compassionate people. Every single day I’m amazed and inspired by the team, whether it be by their drive to support communication students, their ideas or how they manage to juggle so many things at once. As the UTSoC Secretary and a part of the leadership team, it has meant that I have had the opportunity to work with each portfolio and help them produce their initiatives. This has included organising meetings, taking minutes at meetings, emails, all things admin and being there as a helping hand to all the portfolios. We’ve also worked on CUTeSoC communication through our group pages, chats and our catch ups, which have been such a fun way for everyone to get to know each other. Thanks to the UTSoC 2019 legends. I! Love! UTSoC

For the first time, the socials portfolio was led by two directors. To us, it was a surreal experience that put us through challenges and setbacks, but ultimately it saw us grow as people and we are incredibly privileged to have been given this opportunity. The numerous events that we organised and hosted, such as First Year Camp, The Hunt and the Annual Ball, saw us continuing traditions and enriching student connections. Our End of Semester Party was in collaboration with Reverb UTS, MuscUTS and Backstage, and the relationships established are as valuable as ever. It is so rewarding to see all the hard work, dedication and big ideas come to life and have students benefit from this. We’d like to thank our juniors for their hard work: Cynthia Nguyen, Annie Pham, Tarana Fernando and Cassie Parker.
