Alumni and Lifelong Fellowship

Once a Rhodes Scholar, always a Rhodes Scholar

Two students discussing

Rhodes Scholars are part of a lifelong fellowship which continues long after leaving Oxford. All alumni Scholars are encouraged to connect with the community online, locally or at Rhodes House. 

Meet online

Rhodes Connect is the online home for the Rhodes community. Open to all Scholars in Residence and alumni Scholars, it a vibrant online space for collaboration, discussion and socialising. Sign up today and use the platform to find out about upcoming events, connect with Scholars in interest-based groups and make new connections. To sign in or register please visit https://connect.rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk

Since the pandemic we have also been running a series of online events so that we can continue to engage with our alumni across the world. Details of upcoming events can be found here upcoming events. You can also find videos of our past events on our YouTube Channel.

Meet Locally

Alumni Associations are a fantastic way to connect with Rhodes Scholars in your local area. To find out more about existing associations, visit our webpage. If an association does not exist in your area, you may be interested to start one yourself. Email alumni@rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk and we would be happy to support you to do so.

Meet at Rhodes House

Rhodes House is a wonderful space to hear about new ideas through Conferences and Forums, reconnect at Reunion events or get to know our Scholars in Residence through our informal Meet and Mingles. Details of upcoming events can be found here view upcoming events.

Inspire the next generation

We want to inspire the next generation of young people who are impatient with the way things are and have the courage and commitment to make a positive impact. Please share our information pages or these leaflets with a young person you know could be a Rhodes Scholar.
