Keep Oxford Tidy
Littering in Oxford is an increasing issue in the city's green spaces, especially as the weather warms up. This not only spoils these natural spaces for others in our community, but can also cause harm to wildlife. Please play your part as you enjoy the outdoors by binning your rubbish (or taking it home if a bin is full, or there isn't one nearby), especially if you're celebrating after exams.

What interested you to sign up to the Colloquium?

“As a Scholar, one of the ways I take advantage of the power of learning is that I am encouraged to develop a commercially aware outlook that follows current socioeconomic, political, legal, and technological issues. In analysing how these issues affect businesses, we develop a more entrepreneurial mindset.

Student blog: Celebrating Sir Roger Bannister's four-minute mile
“On Monday 6 May, everyone is encouraged to enter this mass participation mile taking place along Oxford’s High Street. Think of it like a London Marathon style event, but through the beautiful streets of Oxford, finishing on Iffley Road at the site where Roger Bannister made history 70 years ago.”
Tom studied for his undergraduate degree at Oxford and has remained here ever since, playing an active part in the University’s Cross Country and Athletics Clubs.
