Please get to know Elizabeth Sellevold, the Chair of the UWC Red Cross Nordic Board and how she wants to help UWC Red Cross Nordic to develop:
Since I was a teenager, books have been my passion. I studied management at St. Andrews in Scotland. But as soon as I graduated, I started to study comparative literature at the University of Bergen. That became a formative year intellectually, and I then aimed for the publishing world. Since the age of 24, that’s been my occupation. I am now the Publishing Manager at Forlaget Vigmostad & Bjørke, Norway’s fourth-largest publisher.
But firstly, there is my family: two stepsons, one son, a daughter, two daughters-in-law, a grandson and my parents. We love to be together, at home in Oslo or in the cabin in the mountains.
Elizabeth's history to UWC
I have a long connection with UWC, both internationally and in Norway. I am an alumna of Atlantic College (1988-90), and I have worked voluntarily for the Norwegian National Committee for about seven years, four as the Chair. I was also elected to the International Council as a member of the Committee of National Committees. This has given me an extensive network in the international UWC-movement.
I am very grateful for my experience going to a UWC college. I profoundly believe in the value of diversity and the transformative power of education. With my professional background and expertise from UWC, I hope to be able to contribute to the development of the school.
The way forward
I will start by talking to people to get a broad picture of what we need. The recruitment of a new head of UWC Red Cross Nordic after Hege`s resignment has been a high priority and I'm glad that we have succeed in hiring Pelham Lindfield Roberts. Pelham has a long background from the UWC movement and IB and I am confident that he will be a valuable resource and I look forward to working with him. Naturally the well-being of the students and staff is also essential to me as the Chair and I am really looking forward to working with the whole community at UWC Red Cross Nordic to continue to develop the best learning environment for all.
