==History== Kellogg College was the first home for part-time students at the University of Oxford and many of the students who join the college continue to work in their professions while they study. The college continues to promote ideals of access, openness, and inclusivity.{{citation needed|date=May 2021}} {{As of|2015|12|1|alt=As of [[Michaelmas Term]] 2017}} the student body numbers 1139 students, of whom 268 are attending full-time and 871 part-time.<ref name="Gazette_2017">{{cite news | url = https://gazette.web.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/gazette/documents/media/student_numbers_2017_-_1_to_no_5203.pdf | volume = 148 | number = 5203 Supplement (1) | page = 452 | title = Student Numbers 2017 | newspaper = Oxford University Gazette | archive-date = 21 June 2018 | access-date = 21 June 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180621144053/https://gazette.web.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/gazette/documents/media/student_numbers_2017_-_1_to_no_5203.pdf | url-status = live }}</ref> The college has accepted both women and men as students since its foundation.<ref>Communication from Dr Paul Barnwell, college librarian</ref> The college came into being on 1 March 1990 (as [[Rewley House]]) and was renamed in honour of [[Will Keith Kellogg]] on 1 October 1994, in recognition of the financial support given by the [[W.

As a consequence, the university slowly began to open itself to religious nonconformists, poorer men, and women. It is this movement that forms the historical background of Kellogg. The Oxford Extension movement is sometimes credited{{who|date=October 2011}} with taking "Oxford to the masses". Lectures were given in town halls, public libraries and village school rooms across the country. The aim of the extension movement was twofold: social and political. It aimed at educating the larger community to achieve a better informed democracy.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} Kellogg College celebrated its "coming of age" in 2011<ref>University of Oxford {{cite web |url=http://www.ox.ac.uk/media/news_stories/2011/112303_1.html |title=Kellogg College comes of age β University of Oxford |access-date=2011-10-09 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110326023106/http://www.ox.ac.uk/media/news_stories/2011/112303_1.html |archive-date=26 March 2011 }}</ref> and celebrated its 25th anniversary in March 2015.<ref name="25 Years">{{cite web |title=Kellogg College the First 25 Years |url=http://www.kellogg.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/KelloggCollege-TheFirst25Years.pdf |publisher=Kellogg College|access-date=7 January 2019 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150618071826/https://www.kellogg.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/KelloggCollege-TheFirst25Years.pdf |archive-date=18 June 2015}}</ref> In November 2019 [[Charles, Prince of Wales]] was announced as Honorary Fellow to celebrate Kellogg's 30th anniversary in 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2019-11-14-prince-wales-become-honorary-fellow-kellogg-college|title=The Prince of Wales to become an Honorary Fellow of Kellogg College {{!}} University of Oxford|website=ox.ac.uk|date=14 November 2019 |language=en|access-date=14 November 2019}}</ref> He visited the college in March 2020 to receive his award.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kellogg.ox.ac.uk/news/royal-visit-to-kellogg/|title=Royal visit to Kellogg strengthens partnership with Foundation {{!}} Kellogg College|website=kellogg.ox.ac.uk|language=en|access-date=6 March 2020}}</ref>
