Myanh Bui-Ligouzat
Q. What is your name and what is the position that you are running for?
Hi, my name is Myanh Bui-Ligouzat and I’m running to be the next AS Vice President.
Q. Why did you choose to run for this role? What makes you the best possible candidate for it?
So, I chose this role because I like guiding people and I like to keep everything organised. So,
I wanted to be in a role that would supervise the AS board, but after speaking with the AS board, I found out that the Vice President was in charge of searching for partnerships and that’s something that I’m really looking forward to do next year.
So, I thought that being Vice President and not the President would be more suitable for me in order to keep partnerships.
So, well, I think I kind of have the facts with my list. We have more than 100 coupons in total and I’m actually really happy because it’s one thing to have a lot of coupons, but it’s another
to already find long-term partnerships and that’s what we’ve done. We have established contact with the HAC, which is the soccer club of Le Havre, and after speaking with their director, we found out that they were looking for long-term partnerships with us. So, it would be a great thing. Also, with “The Roof”, which is a bouldering club. So, yeah, I’m really looking for long-term partnerships and that’s what we’ve already started to do.
Q. What will be your top three priorities for next year?
So, my top three priorities is to keep AS as much beginner-friendly as possible. I want people to be comfortable to try every club they want to do.
Also, create new clubs, such as a climbing club, bouldering club, and then to foster more interactions between 1A and 2A, French students and international students.
Q. If readers could take away just one thing from this interview, what do you want it to be?
Well, that I’m very motivated, very dynamic, and I loved AS this year. So, I would do my best
to keep it as fun next year.
Louise Suyama-Plomion
Q. What is your name and what is the position that you are running for?
My name is Louise and I’m running for AS, as you can see.
Q. Why did you choose to run for this role? What makes you the best possible candidate for it?
I chose to run for AS because I love sports. I’m trying to find people that love sports more than me and I’m running for Head of Comms because I love everything that is linked to social media. I have multiple accounts where I post lots of stuff and I hope that with my skills, I could upgrade the level of AS. I think it is linked with the answer that I just gave, but I think my motivation, once again, as you can see, because we’re doing an activity outside with our swimsuits and I think that it is not something that everyone can do.
Q. What will be your top three priorities for next year?
What I noticed is that international students were not doing a lot of sports.
Maybe my one priority would be to make AS more inclusive, for example, create more clubs that would attract international students, such as the netball club, that a lot of Singaporean people love. I would also like to make AS the best asso in campus and and that everyone would scream AS everywhere, instead of Propa or BDE. And the third one would be, I think it is also linked to the thing of new clubs, but like revitalising new clubs, such as the sailing club.
Q. If readers could take away just one thing from this interview, what do you want it to be?
I think I would like people to understand how much motivated I am to be elected as an AS candidate.
Kouki Kanno
Q. What is your name and what is the position that you are running for?
Hi, I’m Kouki and running for AS Head of Comms.
Q. Why did you choose to run for this role? What makes you the best possible candidate for it?
Sport has given me everything throughout my whole life and I’m now really excited to share those joys and excitements to the whole campus, in all the 1As and 2As. I’m a sports enthusiast and also like a football addict, as well as I’m the only international running for the AS, so I can bring a new perspective or like the perspective from the “addict” that can really enjoy all the events and activities through the AS.
Q. What will be your top three priorities for next year?
Okay, so first one would be integration between 1As and 2As and also French students and international students. The second point would be creating new crafts events, such as a tennis club or the netball.
And the third one would be, I’m creating more diverse contents, such as “match day insight” or “come with me”.
Q. If readers could take away just one thing from this interview, what do you want it to be?
My inner motivation.
