1) Activities officer -I will prioritize creating a vibrant and engaging social calendar for graduate students. My focus will be on organizing diverse events that cater to a wide range of interests, fostering community and networking opportunities. I aim to implement regular social gatherings, workshops, and cultural events, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity for all. I will actively seek student feedback to tailor events to their preferences. I will contribute to a supportive and enriching graduate student experience

2) International Officer – I will be a strong advocate for the diverse international graduate student community. I will work to address the specific challenges faced by international students, including visa issues, cultural adjustment, and access to resources. My goals include organizing targeted workshops on visa regulations, employment opportunities, and cultural integration. I will also promote intercultural exchange and understanding through collaborative events and initiatives. I will ensure that international students have a clear voice within the GSA.

3) Education Research Officer – I will strive to enhance the graduate research experience by advocating for improved support and resources. I will focus on addressing key issues such as access to research funding, supervisor support, and professional development opportunities.

4) Environment and Sustainability officer – I am very much keen on outgrowing mitigation towards the climatic change. As a part of living being on this earth, I am obliged to be responsible and spread awareness among people to be more sustainable and responsible towards the environment and their daily lives. I will be working towards that and downscale much of that knowledge among other GSA students too.
