Polish Foreign Affairs Minister Radosław Sikorski, a graduate of Pembroke College at Oxford University, became the first Pole in history to receive an honorary fellowship. 

Sikorski was granted the honorary fellowship for his outstanding political career (Sikorski served as Poland’s defence and foreign minister and MEP for many years), his contribution to international affairs and academic and public engagement.
