Celebrating Inspirational Women's Success - Hema Bodapati and Pallavi Pappala

This is Hema and Pallavi (right) performing a wonderful dance routine at our Perth College Graduation ceremony in 2013.

They grew up in the Andhra Pradesh region of India and had a passion to pursue a career – doing what?

Aircraft engineering maintenance!

They completed the first year of their degree programme in India through the partnership arrangement that we have with Andhra University and arrived at Perth in September 2011, joining the programme at year 2.

They displayed an excellent attitude to study throughout their time on the course and were keen to be involved with student-led activities throughout their stay.

They are currently applying for postgraduate study in USA.

A week of celebrations for the Perth & Kinross Women’s Festival 2015 has been organised throughout the area, several of which will be taking place at Perth College UHI. With over twenty events included in the programme, such as practical workshops, physical activities, talks and a film screening, all of which are designed to inspire and celebrate the achievements of women.

Representatives involved in the planning of the Perth and Kinross Women’s Festival 2015 came to Perth College UHI on Wednesday 11th February to launch the brochure of events.
