Welcome

Welcome to all new and returning members of the Commercial Awareness Society. We would like to introduce the new committee and provide some information about what we have to offer you this coming year.

New committee:
We are very excited to announce the committee that will be representing the Society for 2016/17. Each member was elected by members at the AGM held earlier in summer and their role, year group and degree subject are listed below.

President: Mbarak Shakuwe (2nd year Law)
Vice President: Becky Morris (3rd year Economics)
Treasurer: Callum Stukins (2nd year Law)
Secretary: Ellie Dobbyne (PGT Law)
Health and Safety Officer: Louisa Ng (3rd year Law)
Union Council Representative: Louisa Ng (3rd year Law)

We are a diverse group that is passionate about this society and we are committed to ensuring that our members get the most from our society.

What to expect:
We are planning big things for our members this year, including a Commercial Awareness Competition. We have secured KPMG sponsorship to help achieve our goals and are constantly working on maintaining contacts in order to help our members. We will update you on new events and opportunities through email and social media accounts, so keep an eye out!

Blog:
This blog will be used as a platform for you to share and discuss commercial matters. If there is anything that you are interested in, then please do write about it and submit it to us. Writing for the blog is completely flexible - you can be a regular poster or write a one-off piece - and any topic can be relevant; last year, we had topics ranging from fashion to football. Contributing to the blog is a great way for you to start thinking commercially and can be a great addition to your CV.
To submit a post, simply email your piece to uea.casociety.submit@blogger.com

That's all for now! We hope you have a brilliant year and that we can help you become commercially aware.
