We’re delighted to announce that Violetta Skittides received a 2017 CIFE Award this April for her exceptional contribution to Carfax College . She received the award from CIFE President Lord Lexden at a ceremony in the House of Lords.
Violetta came to Carfax College from Cyprus in September 2015 to take a one-year A level course in Mathematics, French, and Economics. She developed her academic interests further through additional studies in philosophy and, after achieving an excellent set of final exam results, took up a place at the New College of Humanities in London. During her time in Oxford, Violetta involved herself fully in the social life of the student community, and took the lead as the College’s representative in a new forum for creating connections and organizing collective events with students from other colleges in the city.
