Fighting the World's Fight

There are many Rhodes Scholars you will have heard of, but many more you might not have realised were Rhodes Scholars. Here is a brief selection!

Rhodes Scholar Kopano Mabaso (South Africa-at-Large & Magdalen 2010) speaks about the Rhodes Scholarship programme and its focus on leaders who will 'fight the world's fight'. She studied for a DPhil in Public Health.
