From the Head of Community Relations
These pages are a reflection of some of the work that the collegiate University does within the community. From student volunteering to cultural partnerships the University makes a huge contribution to the life of the city, and the surrounding region.
Of course with such a complex array of activities going on, no such snapshot as this will ever give the complete picture. I hope to keep these pages updated with some new and exciting initiatives over the years to come.
Of course community engagement is always a dialogue; and it is as important to hear your views on the work of the University and suggestions and ideas. Please contact me on community@admin.ox.ac.uk
