Hi, my name is Avery!

I’m a first year student studying International Relations, with a passion for music.
I’ve had a great time in the six months I’ve been a part of LUUMS. I play percussion in percussion ensemble (my favourite percussion instrument to play has to be glockenspiel), concert band, and SWO, and more recently I joined symphonic choir and symphony orchestra.

I would love to be part of the exec committee because I want to play an active role in shaping LUUMS, a society that has given me a space to continue my musical journey and form meaningful friendships. LUUMS is a fun and safe environment, and I want to be a part of maintaining that for current and future members.

I would make a great events officer because I am organised and good at time management, therefore I am able to successfully plan exciting events that everyone can take part in. I was a prefect during 6th form, so I have lots of experience planning events, including a football match fundraiser, a Christmas assembly and multiple talent shows.

If I am elected, I will host a ceilidh which is a great way to meet people and enjoy music. I will endeavour to host fun events that are accessible to everyone in LUUMS, that celebrate our ensembles and the brilliant musicians in them, and continue the amazing social culture that LUUMS has always excelled in.

Live laugh LUUMS!

Hi everyone,
I’m Evelein (better known as Ev), and I would love to be LUUMS’ next Events Secretary!
Since joining LUUMS this year, I’ve felt incredibly welcomed by everyone, and I’d really value the opportunity to give something back to the society. I’ve had the chance to be part of many of the major ensembles, both instrumental and choral, and through this I’ve met such a wide and diverse group of people which is exactly what makes LUUMS so special! I want to help make our events both memorable and genuinely something people look forward to throughout the year.
If elected, I will ensure we continue delivering our key highlights, such as the LUUMS Ball and the Intro Party, while also developing a broader and more varied events calendar. I already have ideas for a “Week of Fun,” including a social netball match designed to bring members together in a relaxed and inclusive environment. Whether people are experienced players or have never picked up a netball before, the aim would be to create a fun, low-pressure event that encourages participation, teamwork, and friendly competition across year groups.
I’m particularly keen to collaborate with the Social Secretary to create a cohesive and engaging programme, as well as work closely with the rest of the executive committee, including the New Members’ Rep and Postgrad Rep, to ensure our events appeal to all members across the society.
In terms of organisation, I am committed to ensuring events are well planned, clearly communicated, and effectively advertised in advance (so no one can say they “didn’t see it”). I would aim to improve consistency in promotion across platforms, provide clearer schedules, and ensure strong coordination so that events run smoothly and reach as many members as possible. I would also work closely with the Treasurer and Fundraising Secretary to help manage costs particularly for larger events such as the LUUMS Ball so that they remain as accessible as possible.
Most importantly, I want members to feel genuinely involved. I will actively seek feedback, through post event google forms, encourage new ideas, and ensure that our events reflect what people want from the society. I’m always approachable and open to suggestions, and I’d love for people to feel comfortable coming to me whether you have a fully formed idea or just a “this could be fun” thought.
Overall, my aim is to create a balanced, inclusive, and exciting calendar of events that strengthens the sense of community within LUUMS and makes being part of it a real highlight of your university experience.
Thank you for your consideration!
