Yesterday our alumni celebrated the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong alongside @st_annescollege alumni at the two societies’ first co-organised event.
The group gathered at a Michelin-starred restaurant to mark the joyful occasion, make new connections and enjoy exquisite traditional food together.
It is wonderful to see the two college alumni societies bringing the wider Oxford community together for what Nathaniel Chan (MBA, 2016), co-chair of the Green Templeton College Hong Kong Alumni Society, described as ‘a memorable occasion’.
Plans are already taking shape for a hike and karaoke event in November, following an ‘impressive impromptu a cappella performance by one alumnus’ at the lunch.

🌌 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 Templeton’s 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. It’s wonderful to see connections being strengthened, engagement growing, and the alumni community going from strength to strength.
Exciting times ahead!
