Societies Executive 2023-24

Alys Webber (She/Her)

Masters in Technical Leadership in Analytical Science
Committee Member for Keele Drama Society

"I ran for societies executive because I want to be able to give back to the societies I am a part of, as well as helping other societies get involved and have their voices heard by Keele SU. I know that this pandemic has been hard on all of our societies, and I want to be a part of the rebuilding movement to help bring our societies back to their full capabilities. I am extremely excited to hear from all of you, and if you have any problems, don’t hesitate to get in contact with me."

Committee Member for Aerial Dance Society and Dance Society

"I ran for Societies Executive because I love the societies I have joined and the genuine support and friendships I have gained through them. As I couldn't possibly commit anymore time to actually participating in another, this was the best way I could think of to give back to that: by having a direct contribution and say in the decisions surrounding what I honestly think is the best part of university life, in hopes that the differences I could potentially make have a positive impact so others also get an enjoyable and stress-free experience out of it too."

"Being apart of societies has been a huge part of my time at Keele and I have made some incredible friends along the way as a result. As a society executive I want to help ensure students are also able to have incredible experiences with societies like I have."

"Being actively involved in societies since I joined Keele has had a massive positive impact on my University experience that’s taught me a lot. Particularly I’ve loved being involved in societies and events surrounding liberation groups, wellbeing and education, and I can’t wait to work with more societies in these areas in the future."

Giselle Pearson (She/Her)

"Societies are my favourite part of university. In my first year at Keele, I created the Aerial Dance Society and joined the committee of Dance Society and I've loved the experience. I became a societies executive to help bring a voice to all the societies."

"I have been involved in a range of societies, and I hope to give back to them the best I can. I have massive love for all of the friends I’ve made through them and the support they’ve provided me for my 3 years here. I want to help be a voice for students in any society not just those I’m a part of."
