Future-Ready Skills for Leaders: Boston

Become a Change Maker

Through the Future-Ready Skills for Leaders: Boston programme, 25 undergraduate students from across the University will come together to work on projects and develop skills that enable them to become change makers both at Queen’s university and in the wider community.

Applications for the 2023 trip to Boston are now closed as the students have been selected.

And we’re off! The Future-Ready Skills for Leaders: Boston programme 2023 kicked off in The Cube, One Elmwood last week.

25 undergraduate students from across the University were selected for the programme. They came together for the first time to address the challenge:

“How might Queen's ensure our graduates are equipped to tackle 21st Century problems”?

The sessions included an introduction to “Design Thinking”, a very interesting panel event relating to the challenge and a range of activities to support the programme.
