Publicity Coordinator: Audrey Teh

I’ve been Cosdu’s Publicity Coordinator for 2 years now and I can gladly say that it has been a wonderful experience. This committee especially, has been a rather surprising one, in a good way.


Being the publicity coordinator isn’t difficult, but it definitely requires a fair bit of your time each week. As you might already know, this role requires compiling related information about cosdu each week and sending out weekly emails. There is also the cosdu blog to update and if you are someone who enjoys writing, although not necessarily so, then this position would definitely suit you. Aside from that, I also try my best to liase with other Universities and ensure that Catholic Students there are more than welcome to join us as well and with the AOY for any youth activities that might spark an interest in anyone to attend.


There are two orientation events to be organised each year. That is probably the hardest part of this role, so it isn’t that bad because Orientation is actually kind of fun. It’s entirely up to you what you would like to do to attract new members and promote cosdu. A piece of advice that I can give would most probably be to prepare weeks in advance because there’s heaps to do when the day arrives. Prior to that, I usually get help from members of cosdu or from the committee to organise a chalk-run to promote our booth for O’Week, and legal vandalism of the uni compounds couldn’t be any more fun.


As the exam period looms closer, I also try to get everyone’s exam dates and compile it into a calendar so that it can be updated onto the blog and we can all pray for each other, or wish each other on our exams days..whatever you like. It is also a great way to start conversations or mini chats with everyone and especially anyone in cosdu that you might not have otherwise had the chance to speak with.


Other than that, I really enjoyed being in the committee this year. There’s this sense of comfort knowing that I am working closely with 9 other people here and they’ve all become really good friends to me. So all I can say is, if you want to do more for this society and to be more active in serving God, here’s your chance to do so. Hesitations and doubts are normal but the most important thing you need to know is to trust in yourself that you can do it. Good Luck!


Lots of love,
Audrey
