My core belief is that we have the quality of staff and students to be clearly No. 1 in the world, but that we have neglected some of the“people”issues as the Department has grown in size and breadth of activity. Accordingly, a critical aspect of my job over the last few months has been to stress that every member of CEB, be they academic or non-academic, has a critical role to play in achieving the Department’s aspirations. As a result, our mission statement has a clear emphasis on commitment to the staff of the Department to ensure that we are able to offer attractive opportunities for work and study irrespective of gender and to demonstrate our commitment to equality and diversity.

Thanks to a combination of donations and investment performance, we have added one new scholarship this year, making this the largest cohort in our history. The Churchill Scholarship is for one year of Master’s study at Churchill College in the University of Cambridge. The awards cover full tuition, a stipend, travel costs, and the chance to apply for a $2,000 special research grant. Many Churchill Scholars describe their year in Cambridge as the best year of their lives. What makes the experience so exceptional is the unique opportunity to focus on independent research, the welcoming and non-hierarchical culture of Cambridge labs, the emphasis on work- life balance, and the rich environment for personal growth that Cambridge provides.
