Gala dinner to mark the 40th Anniversary of Templeton College
Saturday 21 September 2024 19:00About
2024 marks 40 years since the founding of Templeton College and as part of this year’s university-wide alumni Meeting Minds weekend we are delighted to be celebrating this milestone in the history of business, management and leadership education at the University of Oxford by hosting a gala dinner at Green Templeton College.
We will be joined by special guests, including past presidents of Templeton College along with current and former fellows.
As part of the wider celebrations across the Meeting Minds weekend in September, we will be hosting a number of events including a tour of Egrove Park, a panel discussion on The Templeton Legacy: 40 Years of Shaping Leaders for the Future, and an alumnus book signing and lecture. More information
The weekend will allow you the opportunity to reconnect with your fellow alumni, and reminisce about your Templeton College experience. As part of the celebrations we are planning a small gallery of old Templeton photos in the marquee, so please send us copies of any pictures you have so we can share your memories.

Earlier this summer, we were delighted to welcome audiences to our inaugural Garden Play, with a series of sold-out performances of Shakespeare`s `As You Like It` set in our beautiful college grounds.
Our gardens became the Forest of Arden as students, staff, alumni and the wider Oxford community came together to enjoy open-air theatre in a truly unique setting. Even better, the production has received fantastic reviews from Oxford`s student press.
A huge thank you to everyone who performed in and supported this wonderful initiative.
These peaceful moments around college were captured by work experience student Izzie.
They celebrate the beauty of the college gardens and the simple joy of taking a closer look!
Thank you Izzie for sharing your perspective with us 🌸

As conservation work continues on the Radcliffe Observatory, we were delighted to climb to the very top of the impressive scaffold and enjoy a unique perspective on this iconic landmark.
Along the way, we uncovered some fascinating details—and a few cheeky surprises—carved into parts of the stonework. ✨
These hidden marks offer a glimpse into the stories, craftsmanship, and personalities that have become part of the building’s rich history. Stay tuned as we continue to share more behind-the-scenes moments from this remarkable conservation project.
Congratulations to all of the @gtcball2026 survivors 🪼🫧🪸🧜🌊✨
