Finally, Oxford Entrepreneurs in the Economist
Getting OE into the Economist was a bit of a holy grail for me. Having joined as the PR Officer back in January 04 before taking on the Presidency, it has definitely been one of our long term media goals, which thankfully we have now achieved, albeit with the help from the business school!
“Oxford University’s SAiD BUSINESS SCHOOL has some of the irrepressible confidence of youth…Belatedly, some entrepreneurial spirit does seem to have entered Oxford’s veins. Oxford Entrepreneurs, a student club, has more members than any other such association in the UK and, says its president Kirill Makharinsky, is the second most popular student association at the university. It is even being said that Oxford is now more entrepreneurial than arch-rival Cambridge, famous for its high-tech business parks.”
