‘The future is not a destination but a responsibility.’
Earlier this month, the Principal’s Circle hosted Massimiano Tellini from @intesasanpaolo in conversation with DPhil candidate Stephanie Walton on the theme ‘rethinking the global economy’.
From circular economy systems designed to eliminate waste and regenerate nature, to challenging the market logics behind food systems and stranded assets, the message was clear: incremental change is not enough.
A small group of students joined the speakers for dinner later that evening, continuing the conversation in an informal setting and asking big questions about resilience, responsibility and leadership.
Green Templeton’s partnership with Intesa Sanpaolo has supported women from around the world to pursue the Oxford MBA since 2017, combining access with responsible leadership.
What does a truly sustainable economy look like to you?
We are delighted to see the careful relocation of the John Radcliffe statue successfully completed in partnership with Kingerlee and Hadingham Kirk.
At 04:00 on Saturday 14 February the statue was moved to its new location. The early morning move was a complex and meticulously planned operation, enabling work to progress on the south side of the Radcliffe Observatory with minimal disruption.
We are grateful to the teams involved for their expertise and precision in handling such an important piece of the college’s heritage.
This project will introduce new access ramps and a thoughtfully redesigned landscape, creating a more welcoming and accessible setting that reflects the landscape opposite the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.
We look forward to seeing this next phase take shape and to sharing further updates.
Wishing all a very Happy Lunar New Year.
Our Artist-in-Residence @weimin_he has kindly created this vivid artwork to celebrate the Year of the Horse.
The four characters shown carry Weimin’s wishes, and ours, for you: `Wishing you every success in the Year of the Horse`.
