Geraint Hughes
Secretary
Geraint (pronounced Jer-rant) is a third-year History and Global Studies double major. He hopes to go either into International Relations or become a history professor. His favorite time and place to study is the Roman Empire (Ancient Greece being a close second), with a dash of modern geopolitics on the side—although he will voraciously read anything on any time or place. He also particularly loves winning historical strategy games (electronic and tabletop), and generally being a nerd. When not buried in schoolwork, he can be found buried in sci-fi/fantasy novels or looking for good places to eat throughout the Bay.
