Emeritus Fellow Sir Muir Gray celebrates staff step-a-thon success with book giveaway
Green Templeton College staff were thrilled to smash their recent step-a-thon target for Giving Day 2021.
Staff initially committed to walking 2,021,000 steps between Wednesday 19 May and Wednesday 2 June to raise funds for college, but through a tremendous group effort they more than doubled that figure, clocking up an incredible 4,184,918 steps instead!

Emeritus Fellow Sir Muir Gray celebrated the achievement by gifting signed copies of his book, Dr Gray’s Walking Cure, to all members of staff who took part. The book details how walking a little more each day can help you look better, feel better, and reduces the risks and effects of disease.
Sir Muir Gray is currently working on a second edition of the book.
Congratulations to all staff who took part!
Wishing everyone a very happy Friday ✨
Try to stay warm and dry out there this weekend!
We were delighted to host our annual Diversity Dinner last month, bringing together students, fellows and staff to celebrate inclusion during Black History Month.
Professor Patricia Daley opened the evening with reflections on her journey through academia and the ongoing work to advance equality at the University of Oxford, sparking thoughtful discussion among attendees.
Guests then enjoyed a three-course African-inspired menu created by members of the Black Students’ Society with our catering team.

Choir rehearsals are from 17:30 to 19:00 on Tuesday evenings (usually in the Stables Bar), all are welcome!
🎓 Today we celebrated our newest graduates!
Guest speaker and alumna Kate Eisenstein (MSc History of Science, Medicine and Technology, 2010) reminded us:
‘Your biggest contribution might not stem from what you know, but from the new questions you dare to ask.’
Congratulations to all who graduated today! Welcome to the Green Templeton Alumni community! 🎉
It was wonderful to see so many alumni in Hong Kong for the inaugural dinner of the Green Templeton Hong Kong Alumni Society. A fantastic start to what promises to be a thriving community.
