Fall 2023 Move-In & Royal Kickoff Recap
What an incredible start to the fall semester! We kicked things off with a seamless move-in process, as students were warmly welcomed to campus by staff, faculty, and student-athlete volunteers. The energy continued to build throughout Royal Kickoff, where new students participated in activities that helped them get connected, explore campus resources, and celebrate the beginning of a new academic year.
The festivities concluded with the inspiring Sed Min Ceremony, a longstanding Queens tradition, followed by the class picture—capturing this special moment as the Class of 2028 begin their journey together. We’re excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to see all that our Royals accomplish!
Parent and Family Resources

Any emails that are sent to parents and families will be archived on the Parents & Family Resources website.
Advancement
Did you know? Each student at Queens is impacted through donor support as the Queens Fund fills in the gaps wherever help is most needed, often through scholarships. Overall, donor support helps subsidize the cost of a Queens education, making it possible for many to attend who wouldn’t be able to otherwise.
Plus, every time Queens is able to upgrade a facility or bring in the latest technology, we can do so because of the generosity of our alumni, parents, and friends. For more information, visit queens.edu/advancement.
