Q&A with Sir Robin Millar CBE (1970, Hon Fellow)

We were delighted to welcome Sir Robin Millar CBE (1970), one of the College’s ten new Honorary Fellows, to give a Zoom talk to members of The 1448 Society and The Arthur Armitage Society on November 22nd.

An award-winning music producer, activist and disability advocate, Sir Robin is also blind as the result of retinitis pigmentosa, a progressive condition that was already affecting his sight when he was at Queens’ studying Law. He spoke on the topic of ‘Turning points, resilience and finding meaning in suffering’, followed by an inspiring Q&A with alumni.

Emily Walsh, Development Officer, said "We are so grateful for the support of all members of The 1448 Society and The Arthur Armitage Society. These talks are just one of the ways we can give something back to those who generously support the College, all while keeping the Queens’ intellectual community alive well beyond graduation."
