Hillary Clinton appointed chancellor of Queen's University, Belfast
By Robbie Meredith
BBC News NI Education Correspondent

Hillary Clinton is to be the new chancellor of Queen's University, Belfast (QUB).

She is the university's 11th chancellor and first woman to take up the post.

In a statement, Mrs Clinton said it was a "great privilege" to become the chancellor of QUB.

She takes up her role immediately and will serve for a period of five years.

Mrs Clinton succeeds Dr Tom Moran - who died last year.

While the role of chancellor is mainly a ceremonial one, securing Mrs Clinton will be seen as a coup for Queen's.
