Members of the Academic Writing Team, who have been spending the summer gathering input about future directions for Queen’s, will hold a second town hall meeting on Tuesday August 17.

“We have gathered ideas from literally every meeting we have held with folks across campus,” says Kim Nossal (Political Studies). “We’ve been extracting resonances we have heard from the community and look forward to another open forum where we will be welcoming people’s views and ideas.”

The town hall will be held in Wallace Hall (second floor of the JDUC at University and Union Sts.) on August 17 between 12:30-1:30 p.m.

The team will be submitting recommendations for the Academic Plan to Principal Daniel Woolf by the start of the fall term.

Senate will take an active and enhanced role in the development of the team’s proposals into a full plan over the fall and winter terms. Cross-campus discussions will be held and a student committee, led by the Rector and presidents of the AMS and SGPS, will develop a student perspective on, and responses to, the proposals.
