NEW CHANCELLOR
Nobel Peace Prize winner and global
anti-poverty campaigner, Professor Muhammad Yunus, was named as chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) this October. The formal installation ceremony at the university’s Saltire Centre was preceded by a colourful procession through the city centre campus, with the new chancellor and members of the University Court and senior staff dressed in their academic robes and accompanied by the Bedellus carrying GCU’s ceremonial mace. Although the role of chancellor is largely a ceremonial one, Yunus said that he would cut out such a role for himself that would involve the university with the community in Glasgow, in order to achieve the university’s mission of working for the common good.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAMME
Venture for India (VFI), in collaboration with Columbia Business School, has launched a programme where graduates will undergo a three-week entrepreneurial workshop at the IVY league university in New York City. Following this, participants will be guaranteed a two-year placement in companies with high growth potential in India while being mentored by the top management. Additionally, periodic workshops organised by VFI will be held during the two years for the students to interact, learn and voice their opinions on various topics dealing with venture creation in India. The programme is looking for graduates from top colleges and universities across India, although in the first year, they plan to take in only 15 students. Student’s with a bachelor’s degree and at least an average score of 75 per cent can apply. For more details, visit www.ventureforindia.org
