June 2014
 

As the University prepares for the opening of the state-of-the-art China Centre Building in September, join a Hong Kong based Oxonian in a spectacular alumni trekking adventure to wildest Yunnan in support of its fundraising campaign. Cancer is a global disease and we take a closer look at the work of the Chinese academic leading the fight against it in Oxford. And to get you ready for the weekend, why not have a look at our wall of happy alumni faces at the Alumni Weekend in Asia last month, and also check out some of the upcoming Oxford China events and news.

OXFORD THINKING CAMPAIGN UPDATE
THE OXFORD china centre
GraduateFunding

The history of Oxford’s engagement with China is centuries old – and there is no more powerful statement of the University’s commitment to the study of China than the development of the University of Oxford China Centre.  The campaign to build a dedicated facility for it has recently been boosted with a £3 million gift from Hong Kong businessman Mr. Henry Chan. In recognition of this gift, the library in the centre will be named the Bodleian KB Chen Library. MORE.
