Meet the Team – No Wave

Our committee are the driving force of the society. Every year, a new committee is elected by our members in our AGM.

Committee members helm the society in a variety of roles, and aside from their duties listed here, also produce the setlists for our Basement Nights. Should you have any questions, suggestions or queries, or even fancy a chat, feel free to reach out to our committee, or email us at ussu.nowave@surrey.ac.uk

Jack(he/him)
President

James (he/him)
Social Sec

Course: Electronic Engineering (Third Year)

Favourite Artists: Foo Fighters, Linkin Park & Haken

As Social Sec, James is responsible for organising and running No Wave events such as Basement Nights, Pub Quizzes and Decades Nights. He’s also the primary “social media guy”, responding to emails, and running No Wave’s Instagram, Discord and website. He’s currently writing this in third person, which he’s struggled with more than he’d care to admit.

Dawson (he/him)
Social Media Officer

Course: Computer science (Second year)

Favourite Artist: Yeah yeah yeahs

As Social Media Officer, Dawson is responsible for designing the promotional materials for our various No Wave events. You can see examples of his work on the “Upcoming Events” page, most of which were done with far too little notice from the rest of the committee (sorry Dawson)

Gig Officer

Course: Electronic Engineering (Placement Year)

Favourite Artists: Foo Fighters & Led Zeppelin

As our primary Gig Officer, Hudson manages our Open Jams, and is responsible for managing basement bookings (“I let people make loud noises at allocated times”).

Favourite Artists: Anthrax & Metallica

As a Gig Officer, Chris is responsible for planning our No Wave gigs, and can usually be found playing various Iron Maiden and Metallica songs while at Open Jams on Mondays. If you want to find out more about the gigs we put on, or even request a spot on the lineups, then Chris is your guy.

Favourite Artists:

As a Gig Officer, Ffion can be found at our Open Jams, getting to know our members, and encouraging people to meet each other. If you’re not sure who to talk to at a No Wave event, Ffion is always a safe bet!

Wellbeing Team

No Wave’s Wellbeing Team are a committee-adjacent team of two to four officers, and are a fantastic point of contact between our members and their committee, especially for matters of safety and wellbeing. Wellbeing officers are not trained to deal with issues directly, but are instead here to direct any issues you have to the relevant University services.
