About Us
The Queen's Graduates' Association (QGA) was established in April 2003, following the merger of the Queen's University Association (QUA) and the Queen's Women's Graduates Association (QWGA). The QUA was founded in 1927 to keep members in touch with one another and with Queen's.
Events and Activities
The Association organises a varied programme of activities including talks and visits (mainly in the Belfast area), an annual golf outing and other social and University-focused events. The highlight of the year is the Charter Day Dinner (usually in November/December) which regularly attracts over 150 graduates and guests.
