By Tangerine Clarke
President of the Queen’s College
Alumni Association, NY
Chapter, John Campbell, has
announced that the institution
will commemorate its 175th
Anniversary with a grand reunion
in Georgetown, Guyana from
Oct. 27 through Nov. 2.
According to Campbell, the
reunion which is being planned
by ICQC, the group that coordinates
joint activities of the six
active QC Alumni associations,
expects attendance numbers of
several hundred alumni from
Guyana and worldwide.
He noted that a mix of activities
involving the students and
faculty at QC in addition to the
alumni, will enjoy a week-long
program features of educational
seminars, alumni chapter planning
meetings, a sports day,
sightseeing trips and excursions
to various Guyanese attractions
outside of Georgetown, musical
recitals, concerts, and museum
tours.
Campbell, who, is serving as
president for the second time,
said the New York Chapter is
excited to once again sponsor its
signature Student Conference
on Friday, Nov. 1.
This year’s conference entitled
‘Continued Development of
Young Adults in a Diverse World’
will accommodate 120 students
from Queen’s College and six
other Georgetown secondary
schools.
“Once again, this year’s conference
targets upper school
students by way of interactive
seminars on life management,
leadership and communication

skills, which are key to their
development as they transition
from secondary school,” said
Campbell.
The conference, he explained,
will conclude with a discussion
panel themed “Preparing
Today’s Student for the Twenty
First Century Marketplace”
and will feature panelists from
diverse business and professional
backgrounds as well as
academia. These panelists will
field questions from students as
well as their parents.
QCAANY board members
Selwyn Hestick and Sherrilyn
McPherson will be leading the
Student Conference effort and
are supported by a dedicated
team of members.
Campbell will lead the
50-member New York contingent
attending the reunion.
“I am excited about the trip
as in addition to the attraction
of visiting Guyana and reuniting
with fellow alumni from all over
the diaspora, it’s an opportunity
to connect with the students
and faculty of QC and to be able
to view and hear firsthand of
the issues that the students and
school face coping with challenges
of the 21st century,” said
Campbell
“It is also an opportunity to
see the school’s advances resulting
from the fundraising efforts
of the alumni body,” said Campbell.
On Monday, Oct. 27, the association
will begin the day with
a Wreath Laying ceremony at
founder of QC, William Piercy
Austin’s grave, St. James-theless
Church Yard. Followed by
an Interfaith Service at QC auditorium,
a welcome reception,
reunion registration and later,
participation in the Annual
Diwali Parade, all in Georgetown.
The week will continue with
a meeting and election of office
bears, and a discussion – Living
in Guyana: A multi-varied Vision
and Experience of Home.
