REGIONAL EVENTS
The Office of Alumni Relations not only hosts events in New York but hosts regional events in various states across the country. At these events, many alumni share stories about their experiences at Queens College and hear news about their alma mater. Many alumni reconnect with former classmates and establish new friendships with other alumni too!
Volunteers are always needed to help with events in their area. If you are interested in hosting an event near you, let us know! For more information, please email alumnievents@qc.cuny.edu.
