We have heard from our younger Engineering alumni that the opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities like student teams and clubs was just as important as your academics at Queen’s.
As you
look for ways to stay connected to your Queen’s experience, we invite you to
help the next group of students have access to these important experiential
learning opportunities.
For the past few years, our Queen’s Young Engineering Alumni Group (QYEA), has
held the Gael’s Den in Toronto during the Alumni Networking Summit. The student
teams pitch for funding to assist with their activities throughout the year. A
group of young alumni act as judges and distribute funds based on the strength
of student presentations and the potential impact of their projects. This
support has been instrumental to the success of these teams.
The popularity of the Gael’s Den has meant an increase in the number of teams
applying and a need for more funding to allocate towards participating teams.
We are asking all our young Engineering alumni to help support this important
initiative for our students. It takes a collective effort from the entire
alumni community to maintain Queen’s as one of the top Engineering schools in
Canada. Alumni donations support initiatives that defined your student
experience and create opportunities for generations to come. While some people
feel that they cannot give enough to make a difference, every contribution
matters.
Please make a donation today of any amount to help these student teams!
If you are interested in becoming a judge at a future Gael’s Den event please contact Emily Edwards.
