Each academic year, the Office of Institutional Advancement brings Queens College students and distinguished alumni and friends together through a special lecture series called Professionals on Campus.

The program provides students with the opportunity to learn from and interact with seasoned professionals representing multiple industries and sectors. Our renowned speakers are considered experts in their fields, role models for career success, and, most importantly, they all got their start at Queens College.

Bringing students of the past together with students of the present, Professionals on Campus was hosted all virtual this year. We are proud to recognize the exceptional participants for the 2020-2021 academic year.
