The Chancellor is the ceremonial head and highest officer of the University. Traditionally, those who have been chosen to fill this position have shown a deep interest in the welfare of the University and have represented the values of the University. They have had a national presence, been able to represent the University's interests anywhere in the world and acted as important points of contact with major donors and as goodwill ambassadors across a spectrum of activities. The Chancellor participates in a variety of university ceremonies, as well as student and alumni events. Queen's Chancellors have also shown an interest in the individual student at the time of laureation. The duties, especially in relation to convocations, require that the Chancellor have a good deal of physical energy.
