St Hilda's College, University of Oxford

Congratulation to 3rd year music student Oliver Simpson who won the prestigious Oxford and Cambridge Club Music Prize after a unanimous jury vote following performances of works by Cassadó, Gluck and Tchaikovsky.

Join us at the JdP on Thursday 18th June at 1:15pm to hear his fantastic programme of Cassadó, Gluck, Franck, and Tchaikovsky played on a stunning Cremonese 1682 Andrea Guarneri cello.

There's only one hour left of our 2026 Giving Day! The response from the St Hilda's community today has been incredible, and we're so grateful to everyone who has donated, shared a memory, or helped spread the word.

To help us finish Giving Day as strongly as possible, an incredibly generous donor has agreed to double all gifts made in this final hour.

If you've been thinking about getting involved, now is the perfect time. Your gift will have twice the impact, helping us reach our Giving Day goals and ensuring future generations of Hilda's students can benefit from the opportunities, support and sense of community that make St Hilda's so special.

Today we had the honour of hosting Harriet, Ruby, Muffin and Barbie on the Jacqueline du Pré lawn! Four lovely alpacas from here for a welfare boost 🦙 🥰

It's been incredibly inspiring to see our donor map light up on the Giving Day site as so many of our international alumnae show their support for St Hilda's!

It wouldn't be Giving Day without a Rowathon! Our staff put up a good fight in the students vs staff competition (with a strong side showing up from ) but 2nd year Geography student Jonathan Sullivan was the clear winner!

Did you live in Garden Building? We'd love to hear your memories. 🌿

This Giving Day, we're not only raising support for students today - we're also helping to secure the future of the Garden Building through our restoration project, ensuring we can continue to provide sustainable and affordable accommodation for St Hilda's undergraduates for generations to come.

As part of the project, we're creating a Garden Building Memory Wall and inviting alumnae around the world to share their stories and photos from their time there.

You don't need to make a gift to take part, though they are hugely appreciated! Your memories are an important part of St Hilda's story.

If you'd also like to support the Garden Building Restoration project and other Giving Day priorities with a donation, every gift will make a difference.
