Vice President Activities

Sophie O'Neill

This is my second year as your VP Activities, but while at UCLan I studied Aerospace Engineering in hopes to one day become an astronaut!

Throughout my three-year course, I also founded the Rock Music Society and I was the elected Chair throughout my time in the Society. This is where I learnt the importance of student-led groups for making friends and making the most of your university experience. I also hosted a radio show on Pulse Media with my friend Leah, called In-Flight Entertainment, all about women in engineering, news, conspiracies and whatever else we wanted to discuss.

Ensure that all students feel connected and supported in University Halls

I have began working with the University's Accommodation Service to make sure that students feel connected and supported in Halls, especially as we still experience the impact of COVID-19 which prevents the usual mingling opportunities.

Build a network and structure between all medical-related Societies

I will be looking at building a network and structure between the many amazing medical-related societies we have at UCLan SU to help them develop over the coming year and will be working with staff to develop academic groups.

Introduce and develop a RAG Development Committee

I’m working with our Inspiring Projects Manager to introduce a RAG Development Committee. RAG stands for Raising and Giving and is a culture of fundraising that needs to be built on and expanded at UCLan. The RAG Development Committee volunteers have chosen two chairties to fundraise for this year, Guide Dogs UK and Lancashire Mind, they'll work with Clubs, Societies and other volunteers and students to hopefully fundraise £5000 this year!
