As part of our newest alumni reflections, we asked Rhys Holloway (Wycliffe Hall, 2022) what graduating from Oxford means to him.

‘Graduating from Oxford for me is more than just an academic achievement but the culmination of a life changing opportunity. As someone who grew up in a council estate in Oxford, I would walk past the great buildings in the city centre with both a sense of awe and also profound distance.’

We also asked Rhys what advice he would give to someone thinking about applying.

‘My advice for anyone applying would be two things: do not be afraid to try, despite how impossible it may seem. Likewise, pursue something which you love. Studying something you are passionate about will undoubtedly keep you motivated when things get tough.’

Congratulations, Rhys. We’re delighted to welcome you to the alumni community.

Today marks 100 years since the birth of J.I. (Jim) Packer.

After converting to Christianity as an undergraduate at Oxford, Packer trained for ministry at Wycliffe Hall and was ordained a priest in 1952. He went on to become one of the most recognised voices in evangelical theology, particularly through his landmark 1973 book, 'Knowing God', and his long career teaching at Regent College, Vancouver.
