QUEENS COLLEGE GOLD (CLASSES 2014 – 2024)

After your graduation from Queens College, you became a part of the Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD)! GOLD alumni often have the chance to connect with their peers who are in a similar stage of life and career. This networking can be valuable for both personal and professional growth.

There are social, networking and career-related events for GOLD that are hosted in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. We encourage you to attend these events as they will give you the opportunity to connect with other alumni, friends, and former classmates! Your presence at these events strengthens this GOLD community and makes it even more welcoming for future graduates.

Congratulations Class of 2024!

GOLD Mixer

The Oasis Cafe was full of QC Alumni on June 6, 2024! GOLD alums participated in the QC Scavenger hunt and had a wonderful time getting to know each other’s knowledge on QC and share their student experiences. Many alumni had taken their time to write down some GOLD’n Wisdom & Wishes for the Class of 2024! We can’t wait to see our GOLD alums again in September!
