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.

The Radcliffe Observatory is having a conservation makeover...
Behind the printed wrap is a complex network of poles and platforms, giving specialist teams access to every part of this remarkable building.
The Observatory is now undergoing a new phase of work that combines careful conservation of its historic fabric with major environmental upgrades.
Protecting one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks for generations to come. 🏛️
Over the past week, we have celebrated the extraordinary Green Templeton community through events, volunteering, competitions, challenges and fundraising for student support. It has been wonderful to see alumni, fellows, supporters, friends, staff and students coming together to show our support for students.
From the Garden Party and the Photography Competition, to the Memory Wall and Biscuit Decorating Competition, the week has been filled with moments that reflect the warmth, inclusivity and spirit of our college.
Thank you to everyone who made a gift, attended an event, volunteered their time or followed along throughout the week. Together, we have raised over £65,000 for student support. These gifts will help students pursue opportunities, navigate financial pressures, participate fully in college life and thrive during their time at Oxford.

📸 Congratulations to Sophia Hall (MSc Medical Anthropology, 2025), winner of the Green Templeton College 2026 Photography Competition!
Sophia`s reflection on Vincent captured perfectly the sense of belonging that so many people find at Green Templeton.
A huge thank you to everyone who entered the competition and to everyone who voted. Your support also helped unlock £1,000 of funding as part of our Community & Giving Week challenge!
