Why I am making this
In general, I think that it would be useful to have a record of contributions to the community for UCL mathematics. This project is mostly just a record to highlight my Most of the work here was done in my second year through the ADM society, but I was never a formal part of the committee until then; I was vice president.
The Department-Student Bulletin
Following a bulletin model from my time at sixth-form, I set up a weekly bulletin in my first year to collate any and all society, department and external notices in a single place. This is because a lot of staff members had emails that they were unable to easily share, and because student emails became heavily cluttered with individual opportunities. The initial numbers were incredibly large, having attained over 250 views for the first bulletin, and it eventually settled down to around 50-100 views per post. It wasn't the easiest thing to make, as it took up a lot of time and effort to get information from people. One of my favourite items on the bulletin was a department thanks, where student or staff can thank each other for anything in particular, and the question + meme of the week.
ADM Events
The Augustus De Morgan (ADM) Society is UCL's mathematics society. In general, there have been a lot of ADM events, and with limited exceptions, I owe a lot to the rest of committee for room bookings and Instagram posts. I independently (as a member of ADM but not a committee member) hosted a chess competition in my first year, booking through the department before second year, where I made an active effort to make more but as an elected vice president. Below is a list of the ADM events that I had hosted:
- Board Games Social (11/10/23)

THe ADM Website
Over the Summer between first and second year and for a couple weeks in the first term of the latter, I developed the ADM website. This site both shared and archived images, as well as advertised ADM sponsors and events.
