Hey everyone, my name’s Beth and I'm running for your student Events Officer! I'm currently a second-year festival and events management student with over six years’ experience in the events industry. I’m running because I want to get more students involved in events within the university, as well as introducing new and fun events for everyone.
If I’m elected, I will put my passion and previous experience into improving events at the uni. From experience and observation, I know that many students tend to not get involved within university-led events. I hope to change that by:
- Work closely with societies to organise events and reach their full potential
- Showcasing the talent of the students at Solent and create more events for different courses to take part in
- Introducing more events for those who maybe aren’t into the clubbing/drinking or sporting scene
- Taking ideas and feedback from the students seriously and improving the quality of the events
- Holding events that are inclusive for everybody
- Working alongside the students for the best experience
Since I started working in events over six years ago, I’ve worked for some of the biggest event companies and festivals in the world- including Live Nation and Festival Republic within their management teams. I have managed several sold-out rock concerts and big named comedy shows. I also most recently worked in the Production Offices at Glastonbury Festival and Boomtown Festival. Alongside my studies, I’m also an Event Manager with Solent Works – a student-based event company who are heavily involved with many university events.
I hope that with my previous experience and my passion for events, I can get more people interested and involved with new and existing events within the uni.
Thank you so much for checking out my manifesto and I really hope I get your vote!
Beth
