Expected outcomes

Successfully bid and set up a stall at the Cambridge University freshers' fair. Through the stall, it is hoped that everyone in Cambridge University will know about WMUK; a sizeable number (expect 20~50) of Wikipedian freshers and other students will sign up to the campus Wikipedia society. The society will then aim to host events such as speaker events and editing workshops. Supporting the use of Wikipedia-editing as coursework is also in mind, if we get course leaders on board.

Who I am

Deryck Chan, Wikipedian since 2004, WMUK member since 2010, Cambridge University student and Wikipedia campus ambassador to Cambridge University.
