Third Year Representative: David Cowx

David Photo

Hello! My name is David Cowx, and I'm a history and political science major at 麻豆传媒 in my third year. My favourite area of history is Scandinavia, but I also dedicate time to other topics as well as political science. Outside of class and work, I appreciate architecture, fencing (with swords more than stakes, but I can respect both), writing, RPG games, languages, and trains. I usually indulge these hobbies through a combination late-night deep-dives, walks/hikes around my surroundings, and travel. If you meet me, I'll gladly tell you about all these things and more; I'm otherwise just pleased to be in the history society with fun things to do alongside good reasons to leave the house.
