While much of Queen’s campus is quiet, Duncan McArthur Hall was buzzing with activity on Wednesday, May 2, as a new cohort of teacher-candidates marked their first day at the university.

More than 300 teacher education students in the Bachelor of Education and Diploma of Education programs took part in the welcoming activities and will spend the next 16 months at Queen’s apart from their practicum placements.

The Faculty of Education’s Class of '19 has arrived from across the country but the majority of students hail from Ontario.
