Through the Uggla Family Scholars Programme, you will have opportunity to connect with members of the Uggla family.
Through facilitated events and communications, Uggla Family Scholars will network with the Uggla family who can provide guidance and advice for each Scholar’s academic and career journey.
The members of the Uggla family, including Lance Uggla, are excited to engage with each one of the Uggla Family Scholars.
