Alumnus Dr Cian Wade receives a Fulbright Award to study at Harvard
Alumnus Dr Cian Wade (Clinical Medicine, 2015) has received a Fulbright Scholarship to enable him to study at Harvard University.
Cian, who was President of the Richard Doll Society during his time at Green Templeton, has been selected from a strong applicant pool to study a Master of Public Health at Harvard, commencing this year.
He hopes to combine his studies with developing research collaborations with academic colleagues in Boston. He is particularly interested in understanding why some patients are at higher risk of harm from healthcare than others, and how high quality leadership, strategy and evidence can contribute to reducing these inequalities.
Cian said he was ‘delighted’ to have received the Fulbright Scholarship and was looking forward to starting the MPH programme.
‘It will enable me to expand my professional horizons and skillset in order to contribute more meaningfully to addressing the major public health challenges facing the UK over the coming years,’ he said.
‘I am passionate about understanding how to empower healthcare systems and professionals to drive improvements in individual and population level health.’
Cian is also keen to get involved in sporting opportunities in the US: ‘Having previously toured the Ivy League Schools with the Oxford University football team whilst a student, I’m also very much looking forward to being able to once again play some more “soccer” whilst over there.’
Cian won a Green Templeton College Nautilus Award in recognition of his sporting achievements in playing University football, which included three Blues Varsity match wins and several international tours.
Congratulations to Cian on his Fulbright Scholarship!
The US-UK Fulbright Commission works to advance knowledge, promote civic engagement and to develop compassionate leaders through educational exchange between students in the US and the UK. It provides grants for postgraduate research, study and teaching, to help British and American students enrich their education, develop relationships, advance their careers, and make a difference in their fields of work.
Maria Balinska, Executive Director, US-UK Fulbright Commission said: ‘Our vision is a world where there are no obstacles to learning, understanding and collaboration. Today there are many global challenges to overcome, and the world needs compassionate leaders to tackle them. This cohort of postgraduate awardees will be placing cultural engagement at the heart of their experiences as they undertake ambitious study and research programmes in the US: I am filled with hope for the wonderful collaborations that will ensue.’
Alumni in Switzerland came together in Geneva on Swiss National Day for the first in-person gathering of our college`s Switzerland Alumni Group.
After the group’s inaugural online meeting earlier in the year, the gathering was a chance to finally put faces to names, reconnect over memories of Green Templeton and Oxford and hear where life has taken everyone since.
Conversation ranged from career paths and professional exchanges to life in Switzerland and ideas for the growing alumni group.
Josephine Agyeman-Duah (DPhil Women’s and Reproductive Health, 2018), Chair of the Alumni Group, said:
‘It was splendid to reconnect with GTC alumni from different periods and to celebrate Swiss National Day together in Geneva. Our first in-person gathering was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen connections and our GTC alumni community in Switzerland.’
The group is now looking to establish a committee and hopes to connect with other Oxford and Cambridge alumni groups in Switzerland.

Happy International Cat Day! 🐾
It’s been quite the year for Vincent!
After several years of making the college his home, we are delighted to say that we have officially adopted him. A familiar and much-loved face around the college grounds, he has a special way of bringing smiles to everyone he meets.
We’re so proud to officially call him ours!
Happy International Cat Day, Vincent! 💚🐈⬛
✨ Come behind the scaffolding with us.
We were given rare access to the Radcliffe Observatory restoration project, climbing onto the roof to see the incredible conservation work taking place behind the scenes.
From spectacular views across Oxford to the Observatory`s intricate zodiac carvings, we discovered details that are normally hidden from view.
Join us as we explore one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks!
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 🌸
