Welcome 2006 alumni and congratulations on obtaining your Queen's degree!

As new Queen’s alumni you have become members of the Queen's University Alumni Association (QUAA), a proud and vibrant community of over 120,000 alumni in more than 150 countries around the world.

Wherever you go you can stay connected with Queen’s and your friends through an online tool called the Common Room @Queen's.

Through the Common Room, you can get your permanent Queen's e-mail forwarding address, post a note and a photo, and search for other alumni in our easy-to-use online directory - just a few of the great features offered through your portal to the Queen's alumni community.

Click here to register for the online community and use the following security ID: 023822

Many great benefits are available to our alumni, including preferred access and pricing on a wide variety of financial products – credit cards, insurance, financial planning - and yes, even membership into a network of golf clubs! Be sure to visit the Class of 2006 Welcome Page for links to information on special services you can access as a Queen's grad.

You’ll also want to keep an eye on your email and mailbox for your first issues of the monthly @Queen’s e-newsletter and the quarterly Queen’s Alumni Review magazine!

For those times when you are feeling particularly nostalgic, visit our photo gallery at www.flickr.com/photos/queens_alumni_photos. Several photos were taken following convocation ceremonies this year - you may even appear in one!

I encourage you to reach out and get involved with your local alumni branch, either as a volunteer or by attending one of the hundreds of great events held every year. For a full and up-to-date list, please visit the Branches web page

For your ideas and feedback on any alumni matter, please contact me directly. Enjoy your summer!
