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.
