The Reid Family

James Reid, Artsci'04 and Julia Reid, Artsci'08


Queen’s has brought us so many wonderful opportunities, good friends, and lasting happy memories. Our Queen’s journey allowed us both to study at the Bader International Study Centre as students and later enabled us to meet at an alumni event in the U.K. After moving to the U.S., Julia became very engaged with the New York alumni branch and served as branch president and helped to establish the New York Branch Bursary.

We give to Queen’s to show appreciation for the education we received and to give others a chance to have a similar experience, which is why we recently donated to the Frank Lewis Memorial Fund established by the Queen’s Economics Department. We look forward to staying connected with Queen’s in meaningful ways and playing a part in its growth through our philanthropic choices and volunteer time for many years to come.
