Five alumni entrepreneurs shared their lessons from building and investing in ventures that address the world’s most urgent environmental and social challenges.

Join us for an insightful evening with Chris Ewbank (1980), Senior Bursar of St John’s College, as he offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how the College manages its endowment, approaches long-term investment strategy, and safeguards resources for future generations.

The LMBC Bicentenary Campaign surpassed its fundraising goal raising over £820,000 to transform the boathouse. This achievement is a testament to the generosity and enthusiasm of Maggie crews and supporters past and present.

Keith Barron (1968) and Evangeline Dillon (2023) first connected through the 2025 Telethon over the phone. Keith describes the connection they made spanning generations.  

Thanks to the generosity of two friends of St John’s, Jane and David Hughes, Bishop Fisher’s hand has been carefully restored, reconnecting us with the College’s remarkable heritage. 

Join us at Balliol College, Oxford, on Wednesday 3 June for a relaxed and sociable alumni gathering. This informal evening is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with fellow Johnians, make new connections, and enjoy conversation in the surroundings of one of Oxford’s most historic colleges.

The Master, Heather Hancock (1984), has the great pleasure of inviting you and a guest to a Dinner in College on Saturday 19 September 2026 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of your matriculation. 

Join us at our next alumni networking event in Singapore. All current, former and incoming students are welcome to attend.
