Family and Friends
The Queen Mary Family Programme, coordinated by the Alumni Relations Office, provides a direct link between the College and you, the families and friends of new and current students, both in the UK and around the world.
We hope to engage you in the life of Queen Mary during the coming years by inviting you to join the Family Programme which includes invitations to events, the opportunity to be kept informed about developments at the College and for you to support the Family and Friends Book Fund.
Invitations to events
Each term the College runs an extensive programme of events, including inaugural and public lectures, seminars, symposiums, concerts, drama and exhibitions. The families and friends of current students are very welcome to attend many College events; please visit the College's Events listings for up-to-date information.
Family Welcome Reception
The families and friends of new first-year students are also invited to attend the Family Welcome Reception on the Mile End campus during Moving-in Weekend each September.
The Family Welcome Reception is an occasion where you can enjoy a welcome break from the stress of moving-in; meet other families and friends of new students; and meet senior members of the Principal's Office and representatives from the Students' Union.
