Sessions have recently been held at a number of universities in the Boston and Los Angeles areas.

The Alumni Association has also organised a webinar about the Gates Cambridge Scholarships, primarily for a US audience, which can be heard here. Another webinar, primarily for a non-US audience, will be held on October 8th – further details are available here.
