The college has since seen the release of a student publication calling itself ''The Breezeblock'', containing both college gossip and a satirical take on college life.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} Each graduate is given a red brick along with their degree certificates.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} [[File:Keble Brick 2016-05-08 06.31.07.jpg|thumb|Keble Brick]] Keble were champions of the television quiz show ''[[University Challenge]]'' in 1975 and 1987.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} Each year the Advanced Studies Centre invites distinguished speakers for their Creativity Lecture Series.
