IN SHORT
She may be a woman of science and knowledge, but Oris Sanjur also recognises emotional intelligence and soft skills as invaluable in order to solve problems and overcome obstacles. Going beyond merely imparting information, she looks to stimulate analytical thought by engaging students with ideas and concepts. Clearly, she values the ability to think for yourself – and she wants to stress that we shine brighter through what we do for others.
