Matthew Fan

Hi guys, I’m Matthew a British-Born Chinese! I am a first year chemistry student and a pk promoter that works at Heytea. Through organising events, marketing new venues, and negotiating with customers, I’ve gained the experience and confidence to lead effectively. Abacus is a welcoming community where everyone deserves to feel heard and included and I’m committed to improving that.

My aims:

• Improving clubbing quality - Working with the other 7 London abacus universities, to set up larger venues and different events, so it stays fun for first years, but also doesn’t become deja vu for everyone else.

• More social non-clubbing events - Arranging more events throughout the year that aren’t just clubbing and dinners, including: karaoke, bar socials, and much more.

• Decrease ticket prices - Reduce overall ticket prices and stop inflated resell prices, also abacus consistently collaborating with pk will allow me to leverage cheaper ticket prices.

• Further community unity - Aside from just fyrs and abafams, potentially introducing a voting system for what other venues or events you guys would like.

Abacus has given me lifelong friendships and I want everyone to feel the same sense of belonging and passion I have had since joining this community. With my leadership, ability to talk with everyone, and determination, I’m ready to serve as your president and improve your abacus experience.
