"Stay here‼️" - was the message in Belfast from George Mitchell. I asked @stdominicsGS students if they were staying ... and then they asked me a question. 🎙️👀

We are delighted to announce a very special new partnership with Historic Royal Palaces at #Hillsborough Castle, that places societal impact at its heart. The partnership, which spans several areas, including collaborative research, student placements, and joint programming, will build on our existing relationship. A signing ceremony to mark the partnership took place during a special event held at Hillsborough Castle with leading political and business leaders in attendance, including special guest Chancellor Emeritus #SenatorMitchell. “Queen’s University values the importance of partnership work and collaboration to drive positive change. We have enjoyed a strong working relationship with Hillsborough Castle, and we are delighted to formalise our commitment to pursue joint outcomes in areas including collaborative research; cultural promotion and exchange; as well as building deep dialogues that support societal change."

If you thought Jim Nantz had an incredible call of Rory McIlroy's last hole to win The Masters, listen to this call by Mike Tirico on SiriusXM Masters Radio Channel 92 as he calls the moment Rory claimed Masters glory and the grand slam #TheMasters2025 #themasters

BREAKING NEWS: Our former Chancellor, Senator George J. Mitchell will join us next week for a very special event focused on #Youth, #Peace and progress. He will join 700 school pupils aged 15-17, as well as our own students. They are the new generation of change-makers ready to lead, challenge and shape the future of the island of Ireland. For 180 years, Queen’s has been a place where big ideas and brave conversations spark global change. This event is no different. As the architect of peace in #NorthernIreland, Senator Mitchell now looks to the next generation to carry that legacy forward. This event is more than a reflection. It’s a call to action. Tune in live as we pass the torch to those who are ready to build what comes next. 🗓️ Wednesday 16 April, 10:30am – 12:30pm 🎥 ow.ly/ZKQp50VwKJK @politicsinacti1 | @Narrative4_IRL | @TheIrelandFunds | #LoveQUB | #GoodFridayAgreement | #YouthVoices | #CommunityAction

The value of the US-Ireland Research & Development Partnership Programme is undeniable. Joined by colleagues from @ucddublin and @Northeastern at a roundtable event in Washington DC, we discussed our tripartite #Research and #Innovation mechanisms and the significance of their impact, particularly in relation to #CancerCare and patient outcomes, #Cybersecurity cluster development and #Agrifood innovation. #LoveQUB #Belfast #WashingtonDC #USA #NorthernIreland #Ireland #University
