Sam takes Oxford 101
 Graduations
Sam Stranks, the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide's 101st Rhodes Scholar, will leave for the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Oxford this year to start a PhD in Condensed Matter Physics. Sam will join research efforts to find organic semi-conductors that could form the basis of next-generation solar cells. When Sam arrives at Oxford next September he'll be sporting a new RM Williams 'Droughtbreaker' oilskin engraved with his Rhodes Scholar number. This was recently presented to him by Vice-Chancellor and President Professor James McWha in acknowledgement of Sam's achievements.
