I just want to mention that it has been a great ride serving all of you and organizing events for you guys, when I got the idea of creating this cabinet my vision was to foster and normalize a culture of diversity, inclusivity and unity in our hall, The objective I had with this cabinet was to make sure every resident living in our hall feels included and important and make sure that each and every one of their voices are heard and their concerns are taken into account. It really has been a memorable journey uptill now in Hall 4 as this is only my first year here but in this short time I have met some amazing people and made some life-long friends on the way and I am thankful to each resident of this hall for electing us to be your HRC and responding in such a positive to all of our events, your support is what kept us going.

Within the bustling walls of my university's hall, I found a space that nurtured my personal and academic growth, while fostering a sense of community and connection. One of the most significant aspects of my hall experience was the opportunity to forge deep and lasting connections with fellow residents. From the very beginning, I was embraced by a diverse group of individuals who quickly became my friends and confidants. Late-night conversations, shared meals, and countless adventures created a sense of camaraderie that made my hall feel like a second home. Through these connections, I discovered the power of support, encouragement, and the joy of shared experiences.

A small message from Louis: Hello everyone! I'm Louis, and it has been an exhilarating journey living on the lively 11/F, albeit with a twist this year. As a proud member of our floor for two years. Though I was away for part of the year due to exchange program in semester B, my heart never left 11/F. The diversity, energy, and warmth of our floor have always been a constant source of inspiration and comfort, making it truly a home away from home. The first half of the year on 11/F was filled with unforgettable memories, from shared laughs in the common room to the supportive late-night study sessions. Serving as the Welfare Officer of the hall residence cabinet, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to our community’s well-being, advocating for your needs, and organizing events that hopefully brought us all a little closer. This role has been incredibly fulfilling, allowing me to connect with many of you on a deeper level and to ensure that our residence is not just a place to stay, but a space where everyone feels supported and valued. As I reminisce about our time together and look forward to the future, I am grateful for both the familiar faces on 11/F and the new perspectives gained from my time abroad. The blend of these experiences has been a significant part of my university life, and I am excited to bring back new ideas and energy to our community.
