A <strong>2011</strong> Rhodes Scholar, Gabrielle Hughes <strong>of</strong> Corner Brook has lots to look<br />
forward to. And she attributes much <strong>of</strong> her academic success to the time she<br />
spent at Grenfell. ”The VA program is incredibly friendly, motivating and<br />
challenging,” she said, adding that her current research interests lie in the field<br />
<strong>of</strong> art history. ”The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and genuinely<br />
concerned about the work <strong>of</strong> the students and the progress they are making.<br />
My education at Grenfell has equipped me with a skill set that will be invaluable<br />
at Oxford.”
