Queens College’s 35th Gala will be held at 583 Park Avenue in Manhattan on Tuesday, May 5, 2026. Our guests are invited to a wonderful evening of student entertainment, alumni recognition and student achievement.
Every year our Gala honors those men and women whose lives serve as role models for our students. It is a night on which we say thank you to some of our remarkable alumni who have combined notable careers with a dedication to philanthropy and exemplify our College’s motto:
Discimus ut Serviamus: We learn so that we may serve.
