Green Templeton flies #DIFFERENTEQUAL flag for Black History Month
Green Templeton College is proud to celebrate Black History Month 2021.
Our #DIFFERENTEQUAL campaign launched in December 2020 to signal the college’s commitment to inclusivity and promoting awareness of racism. As part of this campaign, we will be flying a #DIFFERENTEQUAL flag at the entrance to college throughout October.
The #DIFFERENTEQUAL flag displays the campaign imagery of two hands clasped together in a fist, symbolising a firm, uplifting stance and joint action against racism by all (no matter the shade of skin colour).
#DIFFERENTEQUAL lanyards and label pins are now available at The Lodge.
College members are also invited to explore the Maarifa collection in the library, which celebrates Black history, culture, writers and experiences. The collection of more than 100 books is an initiative spearheaded by Black Students’ Representative Josephine Agyeman-Duah.
Oxford University is also running a series of events for Black History Month. Visit the Black History Month at Oxford webpage for further information on these events and to view resources, further reading and projects.
Congratulations to everyone who`s graduated on Saturday 23 May.
Echoing what alumna Catherine Heffernan (DPhil Sociology, 1998) said in her speech, we hope you enjoyed every second of your graduation.
👏You have earned your degree - a major milestone in your life.👏

An evening of reconnection, inspiration and community ✨
On Thursday 21 May, alumni returned to college to meet the students shaping Green Templeton today. Hosted in the Tower of the Winds, the evening brought together alumni across generations and disciplines for conversations, shared experiences and new connection 🤝
We are delighted to announce Green Templeton’s Community & Giving Week, taking place from 20–26 June 2026🥳
Throughout the week, we’ll be raising funds for student support while celebrating our wonderful community. There will be opportunities to volunteer you time to help our students, take part in college competitions and unlock additional funds through community challenges.
Early giving is now open, and thanks to a group of generous supporters, we have £20,000 to match donations ahead of 20 June.
