Convocation is where alumni can get involved in the life of the University, to support decision-making and policies, while liaising with stakeholders to develop opportunities for Queen’s.

We have a Standing Committee, elected at our Annual Meeting.

If you would like to know more about joining the committee, or taking up other opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.
