OLs Return as University Ambassadors

'On Tuesday, 20 June, we welcomed back a number of our OLs for a University Ambassadors event. Priding ourselves on our peer-to-peer relationships and the network of OLs that is available to support pupils upon leaving the school, the day was organised to help our students get advice from the people who have stood exactly where they’re currently standing.

The University Ambassador programme aims to help our Lower Sixth Form look ahead to when they leave Lancing and to consider their options as well as how to settle into university life. This engaging event provided a unique opportunity for pupils to pose questions to our OLs and capture some key information about universities, the city and student life on and off campus and what societies they might like to join.

“It’s so nice to be back at Lancing and see all the familiar faces. It’s a lovely feeling to advise the OLs of the future. I wish them all the best.” GEORGIA MANCHES, HANDFORD HOUSE, 2017 – 2022 (REPRESENTING DURHAM UNIVERSITY)

“What an amazing opportunity to be able to come back and provide the same help that was provided to me when I was here.” SOFIA ROGOWSKI, HANDFORD HOUSE, 2017 – 2022 (REPRESENTING UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON)   

15 universities were represented at the event, as well as a wide range of courses from Financial Mathematics to Digital Culture. We would like to thank all the OLs for joining us, as well as the Foundation Office for organising such an engaging and successful event.  

“This annual event comes at an important time when our Lower Sixth students are about to make serious choices regarding their future. These sessions with young OLs, some of whom only left Lancing a year ago, are invaluable as they give a peer to peer insight into life at university and beyond. I know that many of our university ambassadors come back to do this because they really appreciated the experience themselves when they were at Lancing, and we are extremely grateful to all involved.” CATHERINE REEVE, FOUNDATION DIRECTOR
