Doha, Qatar: As graduates of schools and universities within Qatar Foundation’s unique ecosystem of education make their mark across the US and Canada, a new network has been launched for them to strengthen their connections, help each other to achieve their goals, and retain their ties to Qatar.

The Qatar Foundation Alumni Chapter for the US and Canada – sponsored by the Qatar Cultural Attaché Office at the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Washington D.C. - has been established with the goal of supporting the 100-plus Qatar Foundation (QF) graduates currently advancing their careers and studies in North America to continue to thrive, and to be active contributors to society.

The network, which will bring together QF alumni throughout the US and Canada, is the first Qatar Foundation Alumni Chapter, with North America being chosen due to the large number of QF graduates now based there – reflecting the global reach and impact of the organization’s educational ecosystem.

Across the two countries, graduates of QF-based universities are now working in fields including healthcare, education, engineering and technology, commerce, and the cultural and social world, as lawyers, engineers, doctors, educators, artists, and in many other roles.

“For more than 25 years, Qatar Foundation has been committed to providing quality, relevant, and meaningful education to thousands of students from across the world,” Francisco Marmolejo, President of Higher Education and Education Advisor, Qatar Foundation, told US- and Canada-based QF alumni at a New York event to launch the Chapter.
