In my first year, I joined Aber RAG which is the student fundraising society. Somehow I got elected as the events coordinator in my second year so I had lots of opportunities to do many different things like creating events. This year I am publicity officer. I’m also part of a society called World Class that a few of us started up which is a social society and creates activities that you can only do in Aber!
