Candidate for the position of Cymdeithas Y Mabinogi (Welsh Society) - Llywydd / President

Rosa Humphreys

Shwmae!  

I’m Rosa, a HSPS student from Swansea going into my second year at Queens’ College!

Firstly, I would like to thank Cyffin and all committee members for their excellent work in what has been such a difficult year for everyone!

As a Covid-cohort fresher, I understand the warmth and support that the society offers to Welsh students making the leap from home to university, especially during their first year. I would therefore use my experience to build on these foundations, further strengthening the inter-year relationship within the society’s welcoming environment through a college-family-like social during Michaelmas term, which would provide incoming freshers with mentors - or even drinking buddies;) - from other years. I would continue our traditions of socials, pub crawls, formals and the Celtic Swap, and would also be keen to consider a Six Nations trip, as is done in many other Welsh Societies across the UK. I would invite some of Wales’ most high-profile and successful people to speak at events, hopefully in person!

I have a range of experience in leading teams, being captain of Queens’ College Netball Team and former Head Girl at Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr. Furthermore, as incoming Social Media Officer for Cambridge University Ladies Netball Club, I am familiar with managing large social media accounts and promoting events online. Over the past year I have also maintained a strong relationship with the Seren Network, and would therefore make full use of this to strengthen both the Welsh and state school cohort in Cambridge through outreach work.

Let's make this year the best one yet!

Diolch!

 

Shwmae!

Rosa ydw i, myfyriwr HSPS o Abertawe ar fîn dechrau fy ail flwyddyn yng ngholeg Queens’!

I ddechrau, hoffwn ddiolch i Cyffin a holl aelodau’r pwyllgor am eu gwaith ardderchog ar hyd y flwyddyn anodd hon!

Fel glasfyfyriwr yn ystod cyfnod Covid, dwi’n gwerthfawrogi’r gefnogaeth a’r cysur mae'r gymdeithas yn cynnig i fyfyrwyr Cymreig sy'n dechrau’r brifysgol, yn enwedig yn ystod eu blwyddyn gyntaf! Hoffwn ddefnyddio fy mhrofiad felly i gryfhau’r amgylchedd groesawgar sydd eisoes yn bodoli o fewn y gymdeithas, trwy drefnu digwyddiad tebyg i’r system ‘college family’, a fydd yn darparu glasfyfyrwyr gyda mentor o’r blynyddoedd hyn. Hoffwn barhau gyda thraddodiadau megis crôls, ‘formals’ a’r Swap Celtaidd, a hoffwn hefyd ystyried taith Chwe Gwlad, fel sydd eisoes yn cael ei threfnu gan nifer o Gymdeithasau Cymreig eraill y DU. Hoffwn barhau i drefnu digwyddiadau megis gwahodd Cymry blaenllaw i sgwrsio gyda ni!

Mae gen i brofiad da o arwain, gan gynnwys bod yn gapten ar dîm pêl rwyd Coleg Queens’, a bod yn Brif Ferch yn Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr. Fel Swyddog Cyfryngau Cymdeithasol i dîm pêl rwyd y brifysgol, dwi’n gyfarwydd â rheoli cyfrifon cyfryngau cymdeithasol mawr, yn ogystal â hyrwyddo digwyddiadau ar-lein. Ar hyd y flwyddyn diwethaf, dwi hefyd wedi datblygu cysylltiad cryf gyda Rhwydwaith Seren, ac felly hoffwn ddefnyddio hyn i gyfrannu at gynyddu nifer y myfyrwyr Cymreig ac o ysgolion cyfun yn y brifysgol!

Ymlaen i'r flwyddyn orau eto!

Diolch!
