About Rebecca Shaw
Supporting Laidlaw Scholars at the University of Leeds
For more than ten years, I’ve managed the Laidlaw Programme at Leeds, guiding scholars through transformative research projects and leadership development. I’m committed to creating an inclusive, supportive environment where students from all backgrounds can explore their potential, challenge themselves, and grow as ethical leaders.
I love working with scholars, academics, and partners across the global Laidlaw network to build a community that values curiosity, integrity, and positive change.
