Advancement
Queens University lies in the heart of Charlotte, yet our alumni and friends stretch across the globe, spanning from recent graduates to Queens College alumnae, Learning Society members, Friends of the Library and Arts, parents, believers in higher education, and Myers Park neighbors.
Through our alumni and engagement programs, Royals and friends alike can connect with the university, pursue a lifetime of learning, invest in bright students, attend world-class concerts and lectures, and actively participate in the Queens community.
We invite you to read our latest news, celebrate Royals of all ages, check out upcoming events, and find ways to live the Queens motto, not to be served, but to serve.
Ever Rising
Queens is at a crossroads, the convergence of challenges facing higher education and a growing need for skilled and flexible graduates. We’re always evolving, not content to stand still, and with your help we can meet the moment before us, because, since 1857, Queens remains Ever Rising.

Giving & Impact
At the heart of Queens are those who pave the way, laying the foundation for our students’ success year after year. Generosity fuels scholarships, pioneers new projects, and affords us flexibility, allowing the university to quickly respond to the needs of our students and community. As you consider your gift, take time to see how donations are used—how students rise through your support—and ways we partner with donors to pursue their philanthropic passions.
Impact Report
Woven throughout the past year were the unmistakable results of generosity. From scholarships allowing students to say yes to new opportunities and new programs crafted with care to faculty experiences that lead to better education, the highlights of this year serve as a testament that it was truly a good year to be a Royal.
Athletics
As we work toward earning our full status as a Division I institution, our fans and athletic families are rising to the occasion. It takes more than grit for a program to succeed; it takes courage, investment, and a team much larger than the roster size. Our student-athletes are an integral part of the Queens campus story, and they’re only just beginning to show us what they can do.
Queens Fund
The quiet thread connecting students, experiences, academic programs, faculty, traditions, development, the very spaces we use—the Queens Fund is the point between where we are today and where we can be tomorrow.
Giving Societies
Members of our giving societies are critical to sustaining the Queens education and investing in our mission. We celebrate both the continued and transformational giving, and everything in between.

Charlotte is the 15th most populated city in the nation, the second largest banking center, and a thriving destination for businesses of all sizes. At the heart of it all, in the historic Myers Park neighborhood, sits Queens University. We’re ready to partner with you—whether you’re focused on corporate responsibility, increasing local visibility, or investing in employee education. Together, we can find where your mission and values align with ours.
