Great minds.
Shared purpose.

The journey towards the present-day Oxford and Cambridge Society of Ghana (OxCam Ghana) began in 2012, when Oxford alumna Dr Emefa Juliet Takyi-Amoako sought to connect with an established Oxford alumni group in Ghana. After being informed by the Oxford Alumni Office that no officially recognised Oxford alumni group was then active in the country, she initiated efforts, with the support of the Oxford Alumni Office and a group of Oxford alumni in Ghana, to establish one.

These efforts led to the creation of OxfordPlus, which was officially launched on 15 November 2012. The launch combined alumni fellowship with community engagement and included a reading session involving more than 150 school children at the Osu Children's Library in Accra.

As OxfordPlus developed, research and conversations with longstanding alumni revealed a much older history of Oxford and Cambridge alumni activity in Ghana, stretching back several decades. This discovery strengthened an emerging conviction that Ghana would benefit from bringing together different generations of alumni rather than developing separate networks.

OxfordPlus therefore began reaching out to older Oxford and Cambridge alumni with the longer-term objective of harmonising alumni activities and creating a broad and inclusive community embracing Ghanaian alumni of both universities.
