Weidenfeld Scholarships Induction 2011

The new cohort gathers at Egrove Park

4 October 2011
Egrove Park, Oxford

The new cohort of Weidenfeld Scholars was welcomed to Oxford at an induction day on 4 October. The induction was held at Egrove Park, outside Oxford.  

The group was introduced to the Leadership Programme and ISD, spent time getting to know one another and had the opportunity to ask ISD staff and continuing Scholars questions about the Scholarships. An informal drinks reception rounded off the day.

24 Scholars are joining the 2011-12 cohort, with another 24 Scholars continuing from the previous year. Lithuania, Hungary and Uzbekistan are represented for the first time amongst the new Scholars.
