Honoring Heroes Who Changed Lives

Queen’s University Belfast is honoring trailblazers this week with honorary doctorates — including Colin Bell, whose grief over his son’s death abroad birthed a trust that’s helped over 2,400 families repatriate their loved ones. Also celebrated: Dr. Susan McKay, Ireland’s first female Press Ombudsperson and journalism icon, and Professor Nichola Rooney, Northern Ireland’s pioneering Chief Psychological Professions Officer. Their extraordinary impact spans charity, science, journalism, and public policy — proof that profound change often springs from personal pain and unwavering dedication.
