We are delighted to welcome two new members of the Alumni & Development and Communications teams at Keble. Daisy Eaton joined this January as Alumni Relations and Events Administrator, and Imaan Ali joined in March as Digital Communications Officer.
Daisy says she is “thrilled to be at Keble organising events for students and alumni within such a friendly and supportive environment”. She completed her degree in History of Art at the University of York, and is a big fan of Keble’s (sometimes underappreciated) distinctive red brickwork and Victorian architecture. Daisy previously worked as a Resident Tutor within boarding schools, from which she draws on her experience organising events for students and running trips.
Imaan joined Keble having previously worked in the Communications department at Oriel College for just under a year. Her role involves working with the Communications Manager to support the College in improving its internal and external communications, from publicising news on the website and in digital publications to generating content for use across Keble’s social media channels. Prior to her role at Oriel, Imaan gained a degree in English Literature from Oxford Brookes University, with a dissertation focus on the subversion of Orientalist tropes in Contemporary World Literatures.
We are thrilled to have both Daisy and Imaan with us. They have already proven to be invaluable members of the teams.
On Friday 3 March, we were honoured to welcome into College three descendants of Keble College’s original architect, William Butterfield.
The Keble catering team won an Excellence Award after hosting the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Gala Dinner. The evening, which came after a busy summer period of events, private dinners and conferences, was part of the 62nd Great Britain Grand Chapitre.
Three years after the launch of the ‘Portrait of Keble’ photographic exhibition as part of the College’s 150th anniversary, we continue to celebrate the achievements of some of the most influential and successful members of our diverse community through the installation in Hall of ‘Portrait of Keble II’.
This February, we had another hugely successful Keble Early Music Festival. It was my first as Artistic Director and I very much enjoyed planning the programme of events around the structure of the previous Festivals, whilst also thinking how we might offer different elements in the future.
On 17 January 2023, our Keble Conversations series returned to London to a captive audience and a full house at Wallacespace Spitalfields.

On the 17 November, we launched the first Nabila Walji Photography Prize, in memory of Nabila Walji (1993-2022).
It’s been a huge privilege to hold the position of Visiting Fellow at Keble College, Oxford, over the last six months.
We would like to welcome the following individuals, who joined the Fellowship in 2022-23.
We are thrilled to announce that our 2023 Giving Day raised a fantastic £251,228 from 312 donors, against a target of £150,000 from 250 donors. This result is a wonderful testament to the commitment of the Keble community. Thank you so much for your support.
