Dublin Institute of Technology (Education & Societies)

Situation & Strategy

During my Bachelor of Science in Event Management at the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), I didn't just want to sit in lectures. I wanted practical, hands-on experience, so I took on executive roles within the DIT Societies structure.

Tactics

I immersed myself in the DIT Societies Forum. I eventually ran for Vice President and was elected to act as second-in-command for the entire society ecosystem, advising Chairpersons and representing students on DIT committees.

Action

I served for over 3 years as Chairperson and Events Officer for the DIT Fashion Society. I organized castings, rehearsals, and our flagship Vodafone DIT Fashion Show, running the marketing, accounting, and team management.

Results

• Won "Best Publicity Campaign" and "Best Event" at the Vodafone DIT Fashion Show (2015).
• Successfully chaired DIT Societies Forum meetings, handling operations, budgets, and governance for new societies.
• Built my foundation in leadership, event management, and stakeholder coordination before I even graduated.
