Nominees for 2nd Main Management Committee

Introducing, the nominees for the 2nd Main Management Committee (09/10).....

Position: Co-President (2 vacancies, 3 nominees)


Kao Peixin Jamie (Sociology, Year 3)
Portfolio: Co-President




Past ECA Record:
NTUSS Liaison Officer (1st Main Management Committee)
CT Rep in HCJC for 2 years

Reasons to run for portfolio:
Having being a liaison officer, I know how the committee works and I know that I can handle the responsibilities of a Co-Pres. I have forged contacts with the faculty and been given chances to host events as well. This enables me to effectively represent the society in the capacity as a Co-Pres if I get elected.

Why you should vote for me:
I have the relevant experience being in NTUSS management committee in year two. I am confident in my abilities to lead the society in the following year. Also, I have given up my chances to go for exchange so that I can make my time to be fully involved in the timing of the society. Most important, I have this sustained passion in me that spurs me to get involved in NTUSS.




Nguyen Thi Gia Hoang (Sociology, Year 3)
Portfolio: Co-President

Past ECA Records:
Member of NTU Sociological Society (2007 to date)
Member of NTU Psychological Society (2008 to date)
Member of NTU BP Mentoring Program (2007 - 2008)
Liaison Director of NTU BP Mentoring Program (2008 - 2009)

Reasons to run for portfolio:
To me, university life is about discovering who you are, what you want to do and what you can do. I just want to make something personal out of Sociology and I think this is one way to do it. :)
... Sometimes we feel 'alienated' from our own major, Sociology and we don't know what to do about it. Can we make it more relevant to our own lives? And, is it possible to 'taste' Sociology in different ways? I believe we can and let's do it together.

Why you should vote for me:
I would like to get to know more about all of you who are members of our Sociology society. I thnk I can offer something to our society, through what I know, what I don't know yet very eager to know about and also through what all of you might let me know... Besdie that, I am friendly and committed too.

In the mean time, enjoy Sociology! ^_*



Jamie Chen Siya (Sociology, Year 4)
Portfolio: Co-President

Past ECA Record:
Since December 2005, I have been a member a Singaporean civil society group the Association of Women for Action & Research (AWARE). In 2008, I served as the Assistant Honorary Secretary in the Executive Committee. In the past year, I have been a volunteer writer for one of AWARE’s ongoing research projects – the CEDAW shadow report. I also did internships, which were largely research-oriented, at the Ministry of Manpower (May to July 09) and Institute of South Asian Studies, NUS (May 08 to August 08). Between 2004 to January 2008, I was a freelance writer for the Singaporean local free sheet TODAY. In NTU, I am a HSS Student Ambassador, where I try my best to convince potentials that Sociology at NTU is the right choice.

Reasons to run for portfolio & Why you should vote for me:
In the last three years, I have matured into a Sociology student with a fairly good grasp of what it means to be empathetic, intellectually curious and critical. I believe that NTUSS will be able to further engage others within NTU to become more interested in issues such as civil society, advocacy, and to provoke a heightened sense of awareness of how these issues are being played out in the environment. As Co-President, I will commit to seeing NTUSS creating opportunities for students and other members of NTU to engage in diverse discussions, while ensuring that the society remains a place where Soci students of all cohorts will feel welcome to bond with one another.

Like most of you, I am one of the pioneering students of the Sociology division at HSS. I chose to come to NTU over other institutions because I believed that a new school would possess the energy and buzz which I felt more established schools would probably lack. I have not looked back since on my decision. By serving as Co-President, I will contribute to – what I believe is- the right spirit of working together with fellow students to raise the profile of Sociology as a discipline in NTU and in Singapore.

Finally, spending the last year of my undergraduate studies immersing myself in this environment will be an experience which I know I will treasure very much and will miss greatly when I leave.
