Endowed Professorships enable the College to recruit or recognize outstanding teachers by creating highly-distinguished faculty positions. These named positions are filled by prominent scholars or up-and-coming professors or researchers who show tremendous promise in the early stages of their careers. Donors who create named professorships transform the College for future generations and advance the standards of academic excellence at Queens College.

Another way donors can support Queens College is by naming or sponsoring special lectures and forums, cultural or scholarly events, concerts, plays or music series, art openings and exhibits, sporting events and competitions held by our Athletics Department, and so many more.

Queens College is home to the prestigious Benjamin Rosenthal Library and an array of first-rate centers, institutes and specialized programs that focus on such universal issues as economic development, the environment, health care, intercultural conflict resolution, cultural preservation, immigration, and equity and access in education. Lending support towards these initiatives allows the College to expand its scope while remaining at the forefront of academia, research, technology, and experiential learning.
