A moment for the history books 🎤
Old Member, former Rhodes Scholar, and Honorary Fellow Cory Booker (Modern History, 1992) has delivered a passionate and record-breaking speech in the Senate, making history with his dedication and perseverance. His speech, which ended after 25 hours and four minutes, broke the record for the longest speech ever delivered in the Senate: www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyq24388ppo.

A future for history
We’re delighted to announce that Queen’s has surpassed the fundraising threshold to endow the John Prestwich Fellowship in History.
This month, the College’s Governing Body officially designated Dr Conor O’Brien’s Tutorial Fellowship under this name, securing the teaching and research of History at Queen’s for generations to come.
With over £3.3 million raised, thanks to the generosity of Old Members and Friends, Queen’s now has two endowed History Fellowships, ensuring the subject thrives at a time when the humanities face increasing challenges.
A huge thank you to all who made this possible.
