RECENT ENGAGEMENTS
A New York City-based advisor to government and third sector organisations has received a Fulbright Specialist Award to visit Queen’s University Belfast to undertake a community research project linked to Belfast Region City Deal.
TESTIMONIALS
“Our Fulbright Specialist, Janet Corcoran, was an incredible resource to colleagues in Queen’s Community and Place, the Belfast Region City Deal team at Queen’s, and the extended network of partners and stakeholders. She brought depth of understanding, an ability to connect across divides, and to listen empathetically to draw out different experiences and stories. Her experience, connections and insights have been positively received by all involved in the project, and we look forward to the opportunity to further build prosperity and understanding across the United States and Northern Ireland.”

“I met Janet in 2021 and was fortunate to have her as a mentor while I was writing my thesis. Her positive support and feedback helped make my experience a success. I was stressed about completing my thesis and Janet helped make it a truly positive and richer experience. She has also been a great mentor with my career and personal goals. She has an extraordinary way of listening to understand, is compassionate, and was a champion when I really needed someone. "I am a part of all who I have met" and with Janet, I am a better and stronger person as a result.”
“I have known Janet for more than three decades, first as an attorney working in municipal finance then as a government relations specialist, nonprofit executive, and strategic adviser. Having worked in the government, nonprofit, and private sectors in the U.S. and with an understanding of global relations, Janet is uniquely positioned to assist clients with a multitude of needs. She has a wealth of knowledge that I have drawn upon many times while navigating my professional and personal life decisions. She has coached me on how to become a consultant, work independently, and leverage past relationships and expertise. Janet is succinct in her advice, an outstanding writer, the consummate networker, and a quick study. She is especially attuned to the challenges professional women face. In addition to relying on her as a mentor, I am pleased to call her a friend.”
