Student news

If you are due to finish at Oxford this year, you will have access to your student email for three months after your SSO expires.

However, due to the changes in IT regulations to prevent automatic email forwarding to an external account, you must not set up email forwarding when your Oxford account expires.

What is the common approach?

Tim: The approach ensures students have access to a standard provision of mental health support, whether presenting to their college or department.

The Journey so far

Oxford is actually my hometown(!), though I did my undergrad in London. I am a bit of a sports fanatic, (both as an athlete and a fan!), playing in the GB student korfball team, and five University sports teams during my time here, as well as dabbling in college rowing and long-distance marathon running. I was also lucky enough to volunteer at both the men’s Euros 2020, and women’s Euros 2022. 

The journey so far

I grew up and went to school in Gawler, South Australia. I was awarded a Tuckwell Scholarship to attend the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra where I completed a Bachelor of Philosophy – Science with Honours in Medical Research. I am part-way through completing a Doctor of Medicine and Surgery at the ANU Medical School, however I was selected as the 2021 Rhodes Scholar for South Australia which led to me taking leave from medical school to study at the University of Oxford.

Following this review, the University has decided that the University buildings, spaces and staff positions using the Sackler name will no longer do so.  

These review outcomes have had the full support of the Sackler family and were approved by the University Council on 15 May 2023. 

The institutions, posts and funds where the Sackler name will be removed include:

The status recognises Oxford’s continued determination and initiatives to aid sanctuary seekers, whether they be students, staff or members of the local community. 

Universities of Sanctuary make up a national network which collectively strives to make higher education institutions places of safety, solidarity and empowerment for people seeking sanctuary.

Understanding student mental health 

Global extinction. Climate Change. Habitat Destruction. Climate Migration. Ecosystem Degradation. These are topics covered by many students studying in the field of conservation and the environment. Whether these students are undertaking courses in geography, economics, or biology, such issues carry a heavy weight, which has been shown to impact student mental health particularly.

If you are concerned with the ongoing refugee crisis brought on by war, environmental disaster and beyond, would like to do more to support people seeking sanctuary, either as a student volunteer, campaigner, or in your future career, then come along to Oxford’s first town-and-gown Sanctuary Fair.

Students are encouraged to celebrate their achievements responsibly, just as many did last year, by avoiding 'trashing'.

It's not an Oxford tradition, it's anti-social behaviour, and whatever you use (even if it's biodegradable) still needs clearing up. 

If you litter by throwing, pouring or spraying substances after your exams, you will be liable to a £150 fine, which will be strictly enforced as a breach of the University's Code of Discipline.
