QUB Raise & Give is one of the oldest in the UK & Ireland – going way back to the foundations of the University in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s. Over the years, QUB Raise & Give has become an integral part of Queen’s, with an entire week in the second semester of every year labelled ‘Raise & Give (RAG) Week’ and every student being given a ‘Raise & Give (RAG) Day’ where they’re free from classes to do something charitable. Past RAGgies have included former President of Ireland Mary McAlese and the Godfather of Punk Terri Hooley.
