 Alumni Ambassador Simone Delzin says  " I'm thinking about you and UWI STAT always here in Oxford- it has been an incredible experience so far. My mind is opening more and more to the diversity of the world's people, talents and treasures. It has been like a little bubble of time for me to reflect and generate new ideas, do things I would've never tried otherwise and make invaluable connections. I've attached some photos so you could see a little of Oxford.. Wishing the UWI STAT family the best as always! "
