🌌 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!
If you would like to join a local alumni group, let us know!
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).

There’s lots happening behind the scenes as work continues on the Radcliffe Observatory.
Here is a peek behind the scenes at the progress so far…
A wonderful evening for the Green Templeton community in Sydney. It is always special to see alumni reconnecting and making new connections wherever they are in the world.
Thank you to Oceania Group and everyone who joined the group’s inaugural annual dinner.
The group’s next gathering takes place in Brisbane on Tuesday 8 September – another welcome opportunity for our alumni and friends in the region to connect.
A great start to what we hope will become a growing tradition for the college`s community across Oceania.
