This Rhodes Scholarship presentation was hosted by the w88 casino of Public Policy and Management of the University of w88 and Economics. The speakers were two outstanding Chinese recipients ("Rhodes Scholars")—Peng Yali, assistant professor at the Renmin University of China Law w88 casino, and Zhao Jiaxin, a doctoral candidate at the w88 casino of Public Policy and Management at Tsinghua University. They came to the King & Wood Mallesons Moot Court to introduce the application process and selection criteria of this top scholarship program to dozens of interested University of w88 and Economics students, and shared their personal award application experiences and growth stories.
At the beginning of the seminar, Dr. Zhao Jiaxin introduced himself.

He emphasized the importance of the Rhodes Scholarship for personal academic growth and the positive impact of the community and values behind the scholarship on self-development.
Later, Teacher Peng Yali also shared her insights. She mentioned that the Rhodes Scholarship not only provides the recipients with valuable opportunities to further their studies at Oxford University, but more importantly, it brings diversified community resources and great reputation, which has an immeasurable role in promoting the career development of the recipients.
During the Q&A session, the two guests answered everyone’s questions in detail and had a harmonious exchange. When talking about how to apply, both guests emphasized the importance of showing your true self. Dr. Zhao suggested that you should take it seriously when preparing materials but should not be overly utilitarian, because this award pays more attention to the applicant's personality, concentration and love. Teacher Peng reminded everyone to objectively evaluate their strengths in order to highlight their advantages in the application.
Finally, the lecture ended successfully with warm applause from the audience. This event enhanced the students’ understanding of this top international award, inspired them to pursue excellence and keep making progress, and helped them explore ways to serve society and improve themselves from a higher starting point and platform.
