Queen's University continues to deepen its connections in North America, building on our shared commitment to philanthropy, alumni engagement, and academic excellence.
The Friends of Queen's University Belfast Inc. Board is at the heart of these efforts. The Board fosters alumni connections, enhances the University's reputation across this vibrant region, and drives philanthropy in support of the University.
Thanks to the generosity and vision of our North American supporters and alumni, we can advance transformative initiatives—from establishing trans-Atlantic scholarships and cutting-edge research to investing in world-class facilities. Our alumni network across North America is pivotal in mentoring, collaborating, and championing the values that make Queen’s University exceptional.
We tackle global challenges through impactful research, often collaborating with partner institutions in North America. Queen’s University is also home to many talented North American students who enrich our university community with their diversity, creativity, and ambition.
The support of the Friends of Queen's University Belfast Inc. Board and our broader North American community is central to these successes. Together, we are driving innovation, inspiring leadership, and securing Queen’s place as a global leader in education and research.
Thank you for your continued dedication to Queen’s mission. I invite you to join us as we shape a brighter future together.
