Why Ed Blewitt?

In my previous term as president, my strategy led us to a record number of memberships, and record levels of member satisfaction. I also co-founded Hack South West, the South west's largest inter-uni hackathon, delivered academic courses, and strengthened our ties to the department and to industry.

Now I am back from a placement year as a technology consultant at EY, it's time to continue building the society into what it truly could be.
