Homecoming Royalty

The Office of Student Engagement is proud to sponsor the Homecoming Royalty selection process! It is designed to honor Queens University students who represent Royal pride and act as an outstanding community member while showcasing our Queens commitment to service.

This year, the Queens community is invited to nominate deserving students for the Homecoming Court. The Office of Student Engagement will notify each nominee, sharing the reason for their nomination and providing a link to the Homecoming Court application. While nominations are anonymous, nominees will still be informed of why they were nominated. Self-nominations are welcome and encouraged! For questions, please contact Anita McGill (mcgilla@queens.edu).

For Homecoming Court, we are looking for students who serve as role models for the entire university community. Students selected to the court must exhibit qualities of service, leadership, scholarship, and good character, true Royal’s pride, effective communication skills, and advocacy for philanthropy.

For more information on the Homecoming Court Selection Process, please review our process document.
