Congratulations to Columbia Laidlaw Alumna, Mrinalini Sisodia Wadhwa, who has been named a 2024 Rhodes Scholar! Last year, Columbia Laidlaw Alumna Astrid Liden was named a Rhodes Scholar, which makes a 2-year winning streak for Columbia's Laidlaw to Rhodes pipeline. This isn't a coincidence! I hope more Laidlaw Scholars will consider applying for the Rhodes in the future...the leadership skills you build through the Laidlaw program will serve you in good stead with this postgraduate opportunity!
