Execs for 2018/2019

PRESIDENT

​

Hello, you! :D I'm Natalie. I am delighted to be serving our award-winning society as President for the term of 2018/19. As a Business and Management final-year student who has just spent the past year away on a placement in industry, I am rearing to make this next year a brilliant one with the support of my lovely exec and our beloved members (which I am hoping includes YOU!)

DUMAS strives to be a home-away-from-home for all Malaysians furthering their studies in our North-Eastern town as well as a platform for sharing our vibrant culture with the rest of the university community. My team and I work hard to ensure our hallmark events (such as the annual Welcome Party, Diwali and Chinese New Year) mirrors the true celebrations of those back home with spirited performances and sumptuous meals. Other ad hoc pot-lucks and smaller (non-food related) social gatherings are distributed across the year to alleviate any cases of home-sickness.

DUMAS and its people have been an undeniable influence in my student life thus far. We are honoured to be able to serve the Durham community a slice of our Malaysian hos-pie-tality and cordially invite each and every one to savour the flavours. (: Do not hesitate to drop me a line if you are a representative of a fellow Malaysian society/cultural organisation interested in event-collaboration or have any thoughts and suggestions on our events. Feel free to hit me up even if you’re just feeling like some late-night banter and a couple of awfully cringey puns!

Hello Everyone! My name is Aiman and I’m the VP Admin for DUMAS 2018/2019!! (insert hype here). I’m a third year Politics undergraduate from Trevelyan College with an interest in South-East Asian Politics (obviously), Nationalism and Malay identity. My role as VP Admin is to aid the President in her duties, serve as the main point of contact with the DSU, minute the meetings, and ensure the smooth running of DUMAS events. DUMAS is important to me personally as it allowed me to meet people with similar backgrounds and experiences and celebrate Malaysian holidays away from home, which dampened my home-sickness. I am excited at the opportunity to serve as your VP Admin and it is my hope that you’ll have a great time this year in DUMAS.
