Giving Day 2021
The college hosted its second Giving Day on Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 2 June 2021.
Giving Day presents an opportunity for the whole Green Templeton community, alumni, students, fellows and staff to come together and raise much needed funds to support students, widen access through scholarships, maintain the college’s architectural heritage and to give students an enhanced experience through access to funds that support community projects and extra-curricular activities.
We hope there was something for everyone during the 36 hours of Giving Day, and as you enjoyed the events and were reminded of your time and connection to Green Templeton, you will consider making a regular gift to the college.
Thank you!

The college is delighted to share the completion of the south landscaping at the Radcliffe Observatory 🌿
This new shared landscape sits at the heart of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, made possible by the Stephen A. Schwarzman Foundation.
Work continues on Phase 1 of the Radcliffe Observatory project, including a new main entrance via the East Wing and improved accessibility with step-free access to all entrances.
Three Green Templeton students are heading to one of the world’s most iconic sporting stages 🚣♂️
Congratulations to Julietta Camahort (MSc in Financial Economics, 2025), Louis Corrigan (Clinical Medicine, 2024) and Julian Schoeberl (MSc in Modelling for Global Health, 2025) who have been selected for the Oxford Blues Boats and will face Cambridge this weekend.
Julietta will row for the women’s crew in seat #4, Louis takes the seat as Cox, and Julian joins the men’s crew as the #2 seat.
Wishing them and the Dark Blues the very best of luck 💙
🦖🦴 Major archaeological discovery at the Radcliffe Observatory 🦖🦴
What began as routine landscaping work on the front lawn has taken a rather unexpected turn…
Earlier this week, contractors uncovered what appear to be dinosaur bones.
Initial (very enthusiastic) assessments suggest the remains could belong to a previously unknown species, tentatively named Green Templetonosaurus.
We’ll share further updates as soon as we know more… 🦖
When the researcher becomes the patient.
In this thought-provoking reflection for The Times Magazine, Research Fellow Karl Smith Byrne shares what tackling cancer has taught him both in his work and in his own life.
Diagnosed with rectal cancer at just 27, Karl brings a rare dual perspective to his field, combining research with lived experience to advocate for greater focus on prevention and more patient-centred science.
A compelling insight into resilience and the future of cancer research.
