Sarah Brand (MSc Sociology) films her ‘Fantasy’ music video at Green Templeton
Sarah Brand (MSc Sociology) chose the beautiful Green Templeton College grounds as the location for filming a music video to accompany her new song ‘Fantasy’.
The music video was released via YouTube on 15 June.
Sarah said: ”Fantasy’ is the debut single from my first album, ‘EyEs’. I wrote this song on my guitar in the bedroom, fantasizing about the life I wanted while feeling stuck in a difficult situation. I finally found the courage to rectify it, and this song represents the strength to manifest your desired reality.
‘I chose Green Templeton College as the location for the music video because being part of the Green Templeton and Oxford community represents a beautiful time in my life where my desired reality became real. And, of course, Green Templeton’s campus is gorgeous!’
‘Fantasy’ is available now on all major streaming platforms.
Sarah’s next single is called ‘Red Dress’ and comes out on 7 July. The music video was also filmed in Oxford and will feature some of Sarah’s fellow Green Templeton students.
She is pursuing her musical goals while also studying for an MSc.
”I am working on a Master of Science in Sociology researching the intersection of religion and politics,’ said Sarah. ‘This sociological curiosity fuels my artistic projects including music, screenwriting, and directing.’

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 🌸
