The ROMBA LGBTQ+ scholarship was instrumental in making my studies at Cambridge possible, allowing me to take this significant step forward. Returning to full-time study after nearly ten was more challenging than I expected. One of the silver linings during this time was alumnus Virut Hemnilrat (MBA 2022/23, Co-Chair of Pride @ CJBS). He offered invaluable guidance and support, embodying the spirit of the LGBTQ+ community at Cambridge Judge by looking out for one another in times of need. One of my final goals as a ROMBA Fellow is to stay connected with the LGBTQ+ community at CJBS and pass on Virut’s spirit of service to incoming students.
