Green Templeton College, University of Oxford

Celebrating Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Congratulations to everyone who's graduated on Saturday 23 May.

Echoing what alumna Catherine Heffernan (DPhil Sociology, 1998) said in her speech, we hope you enjoyed every second of your graduation.

👏You have earned your degree - a major milestone in your life.👏

An evening of reconnection, inspiration and community ✨

On Thursday 21 May, alumni returned to college to meet the students shaping Green Templeton today. Hosted in the Tower of the Winds, the evening brought together alumni across generations and disciplines for conversations, shared experiences and new connection 🤝

We are delighted to announce Green Templeton’s Community & Giving Week, taking place from 20–26 June 2026🥳

Throughout the week we’ll be raising funds for student support while celebrating our wonderful community. There will be opportunities to volunteer you time to help our students, take part in college competitions and unlock additional funds through community challenges.

Early giving is now open, and thanks to a group of generous supporters, we have £20,000 to match donations ahead of 20 June.

A tour of the gardens through the eyes of a 15-year-old work experience student.

Maddie Bennett from Bartholomew School in Eynsham spent last week with the communications team and found some friendly faces too!

Last week, the college welcomed guests for a special afternoon marking the launch of the Pirie Society.

The event celebrated the college’s new legacy society and recognised those who are considering, or have chosen, to leave a gift in their will to the college.

Their generosity will help shape the future of the college for generations to come.
