Join us for A Celebration of

Oxford Sport in New York!

Both the University and Vincents Club have strong traditions of sporting excellence, being consistently at the forefront of sporting endeavors, and nurturing numerous international record-breaking athletes. We believe that sport helps our students, whether Olympians or merely enthusiasts, develop the life skills, confidence and wellbeing to succeed in study, society and within the workplace. We are proud of the achievements of our many world-class sporting alumni, many of whom have made substantial contributions not only in their chosen sports, but also in academia, public service and business. We hope that you will join us on the evening both to celebrate those achievements and to help maintain and build on this tradition in a number of ways.
