Building connections with sister college

More than 50 Green Templeton students travelled to Cambridge this year to visit our sister college, St Edmund’s, thanks to the generosity of one of our Fellows, whose donation to the Graduate Common Room (GCR) helped make the trip possible.

The annual St Edmund’s Exchange brought students from both colleges together for a packed two-day programme of student-organised activities across Oxford and Cambridge, offering a chance to experience life at their sister college and build connections beyond Green Templeton.

Shubh Kumar (DPhil Cancer Science, 2025), GCR president, said: ‘St Edmund’s College was an amazing host, and we are delighted to have been given the opportunity to make the trip happen. Conversations covered social, academic and personal topics, with the networks of both parties expanding to maintain these precious connections formed on the days.’
