News and updates from Balliol College

December 2019

'I’d like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and New Year on behalf of all of us here at Balliol. Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, its message of peace and goodwill to all people seems a good one given the events of 2019 here in Britain and around the world. As you will see from this month’s news, the College continues to celebrate excellence and inclusivity, and to play our part in shaping the world in which we live. Floreat Domus in 2020!'
Dame Helen Ghosh DCB, Master
