Diana Chang graduated from Queen’s in 2010 with an honours degree in Global Development, spending her first year at Herstmonceux Castle and then proudly representing Queen’s on the varsity squash team upon her return to Kingston.  

She began her career at the Queen’s Undergraduate AdÑý¼§Ö±²¥ office, where she had the opportunity to travel internationally for student recruitment. While those experiences were memorable, what stood out most was bumping into Queen’s alumni in cities around the world.

Since returning to Vancouver, Diana has been actively involved with the Vancouver Alumni Branch, serving as president for the past two years. She loves bringing alumni together – through hikes, pub nights, and community events. She's always finding ways to connect the Queen's community, especially supporting recent grads choosing Vancouver as their home. And she continues to be inspired by the strength, warmth, and generosity of the Queen’s community, no matter where it’s found.  

David Field was a dedicated alumni volunteer, respected leader, and long-time champion of student success. For more than two decades, he played a central role in advancing the Science ’70 Student Initiatives Fund, providing steady leadership, strategic direction, and a deeply personal commitment to its growth. Through his efforts, the fund expanded from $20,000 to more than $550,000, with an additional $1.5 million in planned gifts.

Known for his thoughtful approach, David strengthened alumni engagement by fostering meaningful connections across generations. He was instrumental in building collaboration between the Sc’70 and Sc’90 classes, amplifying their collective impact. He also prioritized student engagement, creating opportunities for alumni to connect directly with beneficiaries, including the Queen’s Rocket Engineering Team.

Widely admired for his integrity, humility, and warmth, David exemplified the spirit of volunteerism and community-building that inspires lasting impact.

We honour David posthumously – the Queen’s community was saddened to learn of his passing shortly after he had been selected for this recognition.
