CHANCELLOR’S SOCIETY

Every gift made to the Chancellor’s Fund Appeal is important. To recognise donors who make an annual gift of $1,000 or more, The University of Queensland established The Chancellor’s Society in 2008.

In October this year, over 400 Chancellor’s Society members were invited to a special thank you event at the University, where they could celebrate the successes to which they contributed. We look forward to welcoming more members to the Chancellor's Society.
