Northern Ireland gig for Hil

Hillary Clinton is kicking off 2020 with a new job across the pond.

The former secretary of state was appointed to a five-year term as chancellor at Queen’s University in Northern Ireland, becoming the first woman in the post.

“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,” she said in a statement shared by the Belfast-based university on Thursday.

The prestigious school said the largely ceremonial position has three main roles: presiding at degree congregations, serving as an ambassador to “open doors” for the university and providing guidance and counsel to senior management.

Clinton’s relationship with the university and the country goes back decades. She and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, “made a considerable contribution” to the Northern Ireland peace process, which helped end decades of conflict in the region, according to a news release.

“With her longstanding commitment to peace, stability and economic regeneration, she is a strong advocate for Northern Ireland and an inspirational role model for the Queen’s community,” school officials wrote.

The former first lady and two-time presidential candidate will be the university’s 11th chancellor. The appointment is effective immediately.

In her statement, Clinton said Queen’s is “making waves internationally for its research and impact” and said she was proud to help grow its reputation.
