Former US secretary of state and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was appointed on Thursday as the new chancellor of Queen's University Belfast.
Clinton will serve for five years in the largely ceremonial role, the Northern Irish institution announced.
"It is a great privilege to become the chancellor of Queen's University, a place I have great fondness for and have grown a strong relationship with over the years," Clinton said in a statement.
"The university is making waves internationally for its research and impact and I am proud to be an ambassador and help grow its reputation for excellence."
