“I have gained so many skills whilst being part of the society. The main skills I have learnt have been leadership and adaptability. Being President of a society involves lots of organisation and things can change quickly whilst planning events you have to be able to be adaptable and have several options for any events you're planning.”

– Alex Powell, LGBTQIA+ Society President, 22-23
