Hi Andrew, best of luck with your research - it sounds fascinating! I was born & grew up in Kazakhstan and have visited Kyrgyzstan many times, I am sure that you will love it there :)
Hi Ruby, congratulations on becoming a scholar and best of luck with your research! What are you most excited about for this summer? :)
This is really cool, congrats Pearls!
What a fabulous year full of advances towards transforming lives through inspirational education, developing the next generation of leaders, and fuelling women in leadership! Can't wait to see what 2022 brings 🚀
This looks really interesting - is there any chance of spaces opening up for Scholars not from the 2020 cohort?
Hi Emma, yes, scholars from cohorts before 2020 can now register for the masterclass!
Hi Nikol - does this include both Y1 and Y2 scholars?
Hi Sebastian, this event is only for Y1 scholars starting the programme in 2021. A recording of the session will be available after the event.
US and UK only? Aw man, Canadians are missing out!
Hi Fatima, my apologies - this is an oversight on my part. U of T scholars are can apply too!
Hi, any chance there would be a recording of this available? I was unable to attend due to circumstances out of my control but it was something I really wanted to see!
Thanks!
Hi Jakub, yes, we will be uploading the recording next week!
