Hi everyone, my name is Vinay Agrawal and am your Mature Students Officer for year 2022/23. I am a full-time student of Masters in Data Science and more importantly, your point of contact to catalyse your valuable thoughts and opinions with the Student Union. I will be your go to person if at any point of time, any student feels the need for any kind of help required in the University.

I come from a background in mathematics and statistics with decade plus of experience in the corporate sector. I believe that I can be of immense help to our students for any kind of guidance or discussions required in their day-to-day University life.

I understand in our community, we have a lot of members that are quite experienced and it would be great to hear from these members about their experiences and life journey. It would help a lot of other members that are about to start their professional career, want to change fields, understand scope of any particular sector, etc.

I would be working on organizing more of sessions where we can meet on a regular basis, share ideas, have external talks by who’s who from various sectors and much more.

Please feel free to reach out to me for any kind of help required or if you have any suggestions/feedback or maybe just want to have a chat.
