Diversity Dinner highlights Green Templeton’s commitment to equality and diversity
On Saturday 26th October, a Diversity Dinner and was held at Green Templeton to celebrate the range of people and identities within our whole community, and to encourage us to meet one another, over dinner, to support a culture of inclusivity in college.
After a welcome from the college Principal, Denise Lievesley, the College’s Equality & Diversity Fellow, Neo Tapela, gave a talk where she spoke about what diversity and inclusion mean to her and the importance to her role, as well as highlighting the year’s coming programmes that demonstrate Green Templeton’s commitment to Equality and Diversity.
Neo concluded by inviting allies to help build on the supportive inclusive environment at Green Templeton, with such support symbolised by our symbol below, signifying allyship for marginalised groups. College members are encouraged to ‘sign up’ to an ongoing commitment to the college’s developing Equality & Diversity activities.

🌌 Last weekend, Green Templeton welcomed Nobel Prize-winning astronomer Professor Brian Schmidt for the latest event in our Astronomy for All series.
Professor Schmidt took a packed audience on a journey through more than 13 billion years of cosmic history, from the Big Bang to the distant future of the Universe. He explored what we know about the cosmos, how we know it and some of the biggest mysteries that remain.
The lecture was chaired by Governing Body Fellow Rob Fender, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and continued our celebration of Green Templeton’s connections with Oxford Astrophysics.
Our Oceania Alumni Group is on a roll after successful events in Sydney, Brisbane and last night in Perth.
We`re very thankful to the group`s committee for their energy, commitment and hard work in bringing the community together. It’s wonderful to see connections being strengthened, engagement growing, and the alumni community going from strength to strength.
Exciting times ahead!

Our EMBA and MBA alumni joined us on Friday for our last outdoor afternoon tea of the year.
Alumni from across the globe reunited with old friends, made new connections, and shared their career journeys since Oxford.
Our host, Vice Principal Professor Jonathan Reynolds, welcomed the group and shared the latest developments at Green Templeton College. Most importantly, he reminded them that here, they will always belong.
We can`t wait to welcome more of our community this week for Meeting Minds. We still have a few spaces for alumni wanting to join our college-based events (link in the comments).
