Class Agent(s)

The mission of the Queens University of Charlotte class agent program is to promote lasting relationships between the class agent, their classmates, and their alma mater, by encouraging alumni participation and support for the financial stability of the University.

What are the responsibilities of a class agent?

  Gifts, regardless of their size, are incredibly important to the success of the University. The Office of Annual Giving asks that you please make your Queens Fund gift as your first task as a class agent.

  After you have made your gift to The Queens Fund you are ready to ask your classmates to make theirs. Encourage them to give, as you have done, regardless of the size of their gift, everything helps!

The Office of Annual Giving will provide mailing labels and postage for the class gift letter.
