Local Community Engagement
Green Templeton actively seeks to engage with the local and wider Oxford community on an ongoing basis.
With students from all around the world, the college is particularly keen to offer opportunity to assimilate with the local community beyond the university bubble. This is important not just as a route to get to know one another as good neighbours, but also to work together in areas of shared objectives, for example on sustainability issues.
The college has a number of institutional engagements around the main site on Woodstock Road throughout the year. Many of our fellows, students and staff are also engaged individually. Recent engagement includes:
- Welcoming visitors during Oxford Open Doors
- Hosting a dinner for civic leaders
- Fellows working as local GPs
- Fellows with a wide-range of roles at Oxford Hospitals
- Clinical students training at hospitals in Oxford and across the Thames Valley Region
- Initiatives to support learning for working in healthcare management and tackling the complex issues involved in caring for and with older people.
- Given tours of the Radcliffe Observatory and Gardens including for My Jericho
Throughout its history Green College and more recently Green Templeton College has held a number of events open to its neighbours.
Hereโs some advice from our freshest crop of graduates to our incoming new students ๐งโ๐๐ฉโ๐๐จโ๐

๐ Last weekend, Green Templeton welcomed Nobel Prize-winning astronomer Professor Brian Schmidt for the latest event in our Astronomy for All series.
Professor Schmidt took a packed audience on a journey through more than 13 billion years of cosmic history, from the Big Bang to the distant future of the Universe. He explored what we know about the cosmos, how we know it and some of the biggest mysteries that remain.
The lecture was chaired by Governing Body Fellow Rob Fender, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and continued our celebration of Green Templetonโs connections with Oxford Astrophysics.
Our Oceania Alumni Group is on a roll after successful events in Sydney, Brisbane and last night in Perth.
We`re very thankful to the group`s committee for their energy, commitment and hard work in bringing the community together. Itโs wonderful to see connections being strengthened, engagement growing, and the alumni community going from strength to strength.
Exciting times ahead!
If you would like to join a local alumni group, let us know!
Our EMBA and MBA alumni joined us on Friday for our last outdoor afternoon tea of the year.
Alumni from across the globe reunited with old friends, made new connections, and shared their career journeys since Oxford.
Our host, Vice Principal Professor Jonathan Reynolds, welcomed the group and shared the latest developments at Green Templeton College. Most importantly, he reminded them that here, they will always belong.
We can`t wait to welcome more of our community this week for Meeting Minds. We still have a few spaces for alumni wanting to join our college-based events (link in the comments).
