It is with sadness that, this week, I bid all our Old Members and Friends a fond farewell.

It has been a pleasure to work at Linacre College for the last two and a half years, keeping you updated with news from College and Old Member events across the world.

Best wishes,

Kirsty Scott

Linacre College Old Members are warmly invited to attend a talk on “Africa Rising: Fiction or Reality?” given by Mr Adedapo Olagunju (2005), this Thursday, February 22nd, in the Tanner Room, at 5.30 – 6.45 pm. The event is being hosted by the Linacre African Network, and the Development Office.

Dapo, from Nigeria, did an MBA when he was in Oxford. He has worked for a number of years as Group Treasurer of Access Bank in Lagos, and has recently been appointed head of a major global financial institution, for West Africa.

This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of our African alumni, and we are very fortunate that Dapo can visit College, during a brief period based in London.

After the talk, there will be opportunity for questions and discussion. Drinks will be available.

Please could you e-mail [email protected] if you are planning to attend, as it would be useful to have an indication of numbers.
