Dr
Jennifer Loke, the 2012 HEA international Scholar attended a two day induction
event for newly appointed Scholars on 23-24th 2013, participating as
an invited guest in the programme. The event was organised by the HEA Internationalisation
team at their headquarters in York. Along with other existing scholars, she
welcomed the new scholars and made contributions to further develop the
International Scholarship Scheme. The first day ended on a high note with a
celebration dinner at the Cedar Court Grand Hotel, where the group was
addressed by Prof Craig Mahoney, the Chief Executive of the HEA. He announced
that the scheme would be in future, be known as the Professor Sir Ron Cooke
International Scholarship Awards, in honour of the former Vice Chancellor of
York University, Sir Ron Cooke who was also present at the dinner. The second
day included very useful discussions with existing scholars to cross-fertilise
ideas for potential future interdisciplinary research work and collaboration.
Jennifer says:
“The International Scholarship has given me a very unique experience to
academic work, and I would encourage colleagues to apply for the scheme”.
Jennifer
sits on the review panel for the Professor Sir Ron Cooke International
Scholarship Scheme and she welcomes colleagues who wish to apply for the Scheme
to approach her for information.
