Meet the 2019 King’s College Students’ Club President, Maverik (Mav) Ryan
A highlight from the latest Wyvern magazine…
I was born in Central Queensland, in the town of Rockhampton. By the age of six, my family had decided to move seven hours south to live on the Sunshine Coast. Mum and Dad enrolled me and my two younger brothers at the Sunshine Coast Grammar School, a place that I would call home until I graduated.
I remember as the finish line of school loomed, I still had no idea what my future was going to be, what I was going to do, or where I was going to live. College hadn’t been even considered as an option. Rather, it was something that I discovered last minute, upon a trip to the UQ Open day.
I toured a few of the Colleges, before deciding (quite easily at that) upon King’s as the right fit for me. Out of all the options, it was quite obvious that King’s College was by far the best choice. I think it was the friendliness and welcoming nature of not only the Administration, but of the actual residents themselves, that cemented our decision. On top of that, the facilities offered at King’s are second to none.
Looking back now at the decision I made, I am very glad that I chose to call this place home in 2017. I have been at Kings now for two years, and I will be going into my third year in 2019. In my time at College I have found myself surrounded by likeminded individuals. Men who are driven and passionate about their success; whether it be on the sporting, academic or cultural front. I can gladly say that I consider the men of this college my brothers, and the closest of mates.
Next year, I have been given the honour to represent the KCSC as President. There is no doubt, 2019 is going to be a busy time, as the College will be going through a number of significant changes and restructurings. However, I believe that our 2019 Executive and Student Leadership group are first class.
We are extremely excited to work to ensure the continual growth and success of Kings Çollege, next year and into the future.
