CHEUNG, Chin-to Castle (Global Economics and Finance)

Recipient of Sir Run Run Shaw Gold Medal 2021-22

It is my great honor to be the awardee of Sir Run Run Shaw Gold Medal 2021/22. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to CUHK and Shaw College for all the opportunities and guidance given throughout my 4-year journey.
Since the commencement of my university life, I have been empowered to experience all sorts of horizon-widening endeavours, for instance being the President of the Society of Global Economics and Finance (GLEF), who acted as the bridge between students in our major and official parties in university, as well as representing CUHK and GLEF in exchanges with both internal and external associations. In my second year of study, I had the precious opportunity to represent Shaw College to participate in the service learning in Kazakhstan, which truly sated my curiosity in sustainability. I am also thrilled to continue my passion in sports throughout my university life. I am honoured to be drafted into the Shaw College Swimming Team, Track & Field Team, as well as the CUHK Water Polo Team in all four years of my studies, in which I forged treasurable memories by striving for the very best in competitions against other colleges or even other universities. In the final year of studies, I completed my first IRONMAN 70.3 in Spain in 2022, which is my childhood dream that would never be realised without the support of Shaw College. I am truly grateful for how Shaw College has nurtured me and shaped who I am today.
