Challenges
We’re running two great challenges over Giving Day! Keep up to date with how both challenges are going over on our Giving Day live blog.
Row-a-thon
A team of students, staff, fellows and alumni will row continuously for 36 hours, attempting to cover 250 kilometres. The more kilometres rowed the more money raised for Giving Day.
Giving Day update: Our incredible team of rowers have smashed their 250km target and have now passed 278km!


Step-a-thon
The staff of Green Templeton college are aiming to complete 2,021,000 steps between Wednesday 19 May and Wednesday 2 June at 19:00 to raise funds for Giving Day.
Giving Day update: Our final step count is 4,184,918!

The college is delighted to welcome a new Oxford PharmaGenesis DPhil Scholarship in Translational Health.
The scholarship has been established through an endowment gift of £1,660,000 from Oxford PharmaGenesis, now part of the Klick family, creating a permanent fund to support doctoral students undertaking outstanding postgraduate research in the field of translational health at Nuffield Department of Primary Care @oxford_uni
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.
