Gideon Chan

Hey there, this is Gideon!

I have been incredibly proud to contribute to one of the oldest and most prestige geographical societies in the world, and would like to stand for President to create an inclusive, creative, and intellectual environment where every one of us can share our geographies with each other. As a first-year representative, I have witnessed incredible potential in the Geographical Society where we shape our community and form friendships, as I have met so many wonderful geographers who every day stimulate me with unimaginable worldviews. I am passionate in continuing the legacy of the Geographical Society as a space where we share our love for Geography and learn about the world together.

With my experience in event planning, such as co-organising the Chinese New Year dinner from venue booking to ticket allocation as well as the annual winter ball, I believe I have the ability to deliver creative activities in which everyone may experience something new. I have worked hard in receiving feedback from other first-year course mates as their representative, making sure that everyone has a say in the society and see themselves as a part of it. My goal as President is to stimulate more affordable cross-year-group events such as debates, workshops, trips, hikes, and socials, so everyone can learn from one another while having fun together. 

After all, as we produce our own geographies in a new page of the Geography Society, I would like to create mine with you.
