4 “I didn’t realise it then, but my two years at Oxford were some of the most influential years in my life. I studied Development Studies which later informed my career switch from management consulting to social entrepreneurship. I met many amazing Scholars, many of whom are still my closest friends, and I met my wife at Oxford. All of this was afforded to me by the Rhodes Scholarship. I feel honoured and proud to be part of this special network.” Nhlanhla Dlamini (South Africa-at-Large & St John’s 2008)

Second Century Annual Report 7 Character, Service & Leadership Programme The Character, Service & Leadership programme is a central element of what it means to be a Rhodes Scholar in today’s Rhodes experience. Below is an interview with Dr Nadiya Figueroa, Dean of Scholarships, Director of Leadership and Change, discussing its activities and impact.
Why a Character, Service & The other half consists of working with the Scholars Leadership programme? and their own initiative, to support them in practicing he programme (CSLP) was born out of the service and leadership while in-residence on the T recognition of an opportunity and a demand: Scholarship. The range of self-organised Scholar Rhodes Scholars are selected with a mandate to fight Groups, issue-based discussion series, service projects, the world’s fights, to serve and to lead – but what cultural celebrations, and social and wellness events, are we doing to actually develop these skills during a is testimony to that.

We are transparent with the Scholars that this year cohorts. These are small group discussion and programming is about preparing them for the world peer-learning based, moderated by Senior Scholars that they will go on to be active in, and hopefully eight to twelve years out from their own in-residence have a positive influence and lasting impact on. experience. There used to be more of a reliance on As you can imagine, it is challenging to get readings, but the pedagogy has shifted to account an entire cohort of Scholars together for a for the fact that the most valuable resource in these weekend amidst their academic pursuits and interactions is the lived experiences and aspirations other activities. But these milestone experiences of the Scholars themselves, their own perspectives, shared amongst an entire cohort are pivotal. ideas and beliefs. Once they are stimulated to interrogate themselves and their assumed trajectories, to share with and learn from each other, and to consider commitments around how they will choose to be in the world – half of the job is done.

Second Century Annual Report 9 Selection Update The Rhodes Scholarships depend on the dedication and service of a large number of selectors, National Secretaries and Rhodes Scholars spreading the word about the opportunity.

10 Frequent Misconceptions e are always keen to have the Rhodes Scholar W community assist with myth-busting and the below are the most frequently raised misconceptions.
1 “YOU HAVE TO BE SPORTY” This is not true. The selection criteria mentions: “energy to use one’s talents to the full” but this can be demonstrated through a wide variety of extra-curricular pursuits and leadership opportunities.
2 “YOU MUST BE TOP OF YOUR CLASS” Whilst excellent academic ability is important, and you will need to be able to thrive at the University of Oxford, the will of Cecil Rhodes made explicit reference to ‘not mere bookworms’. You have to be clever and able to think quickly, but as important is your commitment to serve others.
3 “YOU HAVE TO HAVE DONE MONTHS OF VOLUNTEER WORK ABROAD / STARTED YOUR OWN NGO” As long as you can demonstrate you have worked to improve the lives of others, that is what counts. It can be done in a multitude of ways, and in your own neighbourhood. You will also need to be able to talk in the interview about what you hope to do in the future.
4 “THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS ARE ELITIST” No, the Rhodes Trust actively encourages applicants from all backgrounds. The learning which happens in a community is much greater if there is genuine diversity amongst the group. More than forty percent of the Scholars in Oxford are black or minority ethnic, many from first or second generation migrant families. There is no single political ideology, but there is a common ethic of service to others and bettering the world.

Second Century Annual Report 17 Atlantic Institute Update The Atlantic Institute was established in 2016 to support six Atlantic Fellows programs around the world. The Atlantic Institute supports the global network of Atlantic Fellows throughout their careers with opportunities to connect, exchange ideas and further develop their skills as leaders and changemakers.
he task of the Institute is to facilitate learning and collaboration across the six Atlantic Fellows programs, with a view to amplifying their impact toward fairer, healthier, more inclusive societies, and to help promote lifelong community among the Atlantic Fellows. As the result of an intense start-up phase, Tfive of the programs – the Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity in Southeast Asia, the Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health (at the University of California San Francisco and Trinity College Dublin), the Atlantic Fellows The Atlantic Institute team including for Social and Economic Equity (at the International Inequalities Institute Penelope Brook (centre), Executive Director of the Atlantic Institute at LSE), the Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity in South Africa, and the Atlantic Fellows for Social Equity (focused on indigenous leadership) in Australia – all have Fellows in program. The sixth, the Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity (at Columbia University and the Nelson Mandela Foundation) will bring its first cohort of Fellows on board at the beginning of 2018. (For more about the programs, please visit www.atlanticfellows.org.) While the six programs are diverse in their context and particular focus, all seek to identify, nurture and learn with imaginative, brave, restless mid-career leaders who demonstrate a deep commitment to advancing equity, are thoughtful and rigorous in their reasoning, who are open to and curious about the perspective of others, and who are open to learning and leading collaboratively. The Atlantic Institute is working with the programs to facilitate cross-program learning on leadership curricula and pedagogy, and to develop common course modules (for example, on insights from neuroscience, and from indigenous ways of learning and leading). The Atlantic Institute is working towards a first global gathering of Atlantic Fellows in Oxford in the Spring of 2018. In the meantime, eight graduated Fellows and three Atlantic program staff joined the Rhodes Healthcare Forum in November – an early demonstration of the potential for learning and collaboration between the Rhodes and Atlantic communities.
18 Second Century Annual Report 19 Class of 2017 The Class of 2017 has been welcomed into the global Rhodes community. Individuals in this new class share their remarkable stories.
I aim to live up to the trust that has been given “to me by the members of the Selection Committee as I join the Rhodes community. I look forward to pursuing an MSc in Diplomacy and Global Governance, and using that knowledge to represent my country’s overarching, global narrative abroad. Dubai Abulhoul (United Arab Emirates, 2017) ”
When I told my parents that I might have“ a chance to go to Oxford, they were almost in tears... to think I would make it from my Palestinian refugee camp of Arroub to Oxford is truly incredible. Hashem Abushama (Palestine, 2017)”
I am the child of Mexican immigrants, an anti- “ hunger advocate and a former teacher and political organiser. My degree choices are a way for me to respond from a sense of moral urgency to help marginalised people. Oscar De Los Santos (USA, 2017) ”
Oxford has phenomenal support in both disciplines I seek“ to pursue and I hope to give back to the education system from which I emerged. I would love to mentor African academics who have the potential to produce regionally and globally impactful scholarship especially among traditionally underrepresented groups. Lilian Dube (Zimbabwe, 2017) ”
20 Scholars in Oxford Walking along the beautiful Oxford streets, you quickly realise that Oxford is a space which will both inspire and challenge.
What have you been reflecting on during your time here?
The Rhodes community is one that is always thinking and rethinking what“ it means to be a Rhodes Scholar, what it means to be a female Rhodes Scholar, and so I think a lot of that has created an evolution over time... and I hope that our communities will continue to fight in that way, and open more doors for future generations of Rhodes women. Anisha Gururaj (Missouri & Queen’s 2015) ”
21 One thing I’m excited about is seeing how we can move beyond the space“ of conversation, to construction and connection, and building meaningful ideas and programmes and projects together. Sometimes we have to not just stand up for the world, but sit down for the world. Sometimes we have to sit down and listen, and reflect and introspect, and think about what this Scholarship means, what our legacies mean – what it means to be women working in different arenas in the world, and how we are going to bring change from the bottom. Rene Verma (India & Lady Margaret Hall 2016) ” A life of meaning and purpose is really connected to“ leading by example, and embodying fully the things that you want to see fixed in the world, and that has to do with your attitude, but also the kind of micro-level decisions that you make day-to-day. Ethical leadership I think is really about understanding the context that you’re in, and all the moving parts which is very hard to do but really necessary. I think someone like Nelson Mandela evidences how that is possible. Kylie de Chastelain (Maritimes & Balliol 2014)”
My being here represents a different kind of Scholar, and that“ people now know that you can in fact be a Rhodes Scholar even if you are from Khayelitsha, even if you had a tough upbringing. I have been forced to challenge myself in so many ways. Doing things I never thought I could, engaging people I never thought I would... not in a million years. Vuyane Mhlomi (South Africa-at-Large & St Edmund Hall” 2014) The problems I knew about in the world were restricted to my little“ sphere, what I knew. Now I know there are lot’s of things going on everywhere… there are a lot of things that need to be fixed. Since being here, since winning the Rhodes Scholarship I feel more able to take on those things, not just as a singular person, but part of a community, a global community. Lindsay Lee (Tennessee & Wadham 2014) ”
24 I don’t really see words; I see a moving image of what’s going on “on the page - it’s a quick mental snapshot that I think is the result of my autism. Language is difficult for me, but images are easy. My mom put so much effort into developing me, not only through teaching but to give me the mental strength and ability to control my autism. Her example has propelled me toward public service. Jory Fleming (USA, 2017) ”
One of my motivations was to never give up. Another one“ of my motivations is to show kids what it looks like to never give in. When I die and I’m standing in front of God, I want to be able to say, ‘God, I don’t have any talents left. I used everything you gave me. Caylin Moore (USA, 2017) ”
I am interested in human rights law, particularly in examining how“ law can be used to address gender disparity in health care. My childhood played a major role in molding my interests. I grew up in a fairly conservative society, and often observed how various gender roles, ingrained in social functioning, affect the opportunities available to women. Through my work, I attempt to develop India’s health law framework to craft a more equitable health law regime, providing equal access to all persons, irrespective of their gender. Gauri Pillai (India, 2017) ”

70 “Reflecting on my time at Oxford, the experience was truly transformative. The impact of the Rhodes Scholarship on my life has been pervasive in the opportunities and enrichment it has provided. Knowing how meaningful this has been to me, it seems that giving back in support of our future Scholars is entirely apropos. Few, if any, other philanthropic opportunities offer the chance to so tangibly benefit the lives and careers of such talented individuals, who no doubt will leave their mark as they continue to fight the world’s fight across a myriad of disciplines. My hope for the future rests on such Scholars-to-be and those like them. I am glad to have the opportunity to support these individuals, as others before have supported me.” Zach Morris (Wisconsin & Wadham 2002)
