Episode Campus interview: Dame Madeleine Atkins, president of Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge
A veteran leader in English higher education, dame Madeline Atkins is the former CEO of the Higher Education Funding Council in England and is the current president of Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge. In this Campus interview, she tells us about a widening access initiative that has led to the college admitting over 90 per cent of students from state schools – as in tax payer funded, non selective and free-to-attend schools. She explains how the programme identified students to help them apply to the elite institution and what support exists to help them succeed once they arrive.
