23 Jul '22

Hi everyone, I'd hereby like to introduce you all to the brilliant new CompSoc committee! This year we'll have a much larger one (from three/five members in the previous year to eleven!) and they are all top-tier quality people. Key roles: - *President: *Hamzah Qureshi. Hamzah is a brilliant and ambitious first-year student of CS who has many amazing ideas to improve the structure and integration of the society into other university societies and departments. - *Vice-President: *Hoa Duong. Hoa is a first-year CS and Philosophy student with more excellent ideas to increase (cross-society) engagement and accessibility. - *Secretary: *Skai Cook. Skai is an excellent first-year CS student who will keep all the admin running smoothly and efficiently. - *Social Secretary*: Antoni Pilat and Esther Miles (joint). A dream team of a CS and Philosophy first-year and CS and Maths first-year who will manage the society's social media presence and host exciting events. - *Treasurer*: Kledion Shahini. Kledion is a sharp and witty student of Mathematics, perfect for the role of treasurer. Sub-roles: - *Leader of Excursions:* Arcadia Cipriani. Arcadia is a lovely first-year student of CS and Philosophy with a range of great ideas ranging from board game nights, escape rooms, picnics, karaoke, Junk Yark Golf, and interdisciplinary events. - *Leader of LAN and Gaming*: Rish Naik and Jake Simian (joint). Two "very experienced" gamers, what more could you want. Both first-year CS students. - *Leader of Coding Workshops*: Viktor Kozhuharov and Oscar Mui (joint). Two experienced programmers and first-year CS students who will host a range of coding workshops for students with varying ability, in CS and beyond. Please see the attached AGM Minutes document for the full reports from each of the old and new committee members. It was a great pleasure and privilege to be your president this past year! Keep an eye on your inbox for a big formal social we'll be hosting in Michaelmas to ring in the new one. All the best, Lize
