QUSA: Barb Geddes Staff Guide

About the Barb Geddes Resources Page

This web site has been made possible through memorial tribute gifts given in honour of Barbara Geddes who died in December 1994. Barbara contributed tremendously to Queen's University in her role as coordinator of the Research Program in the School of Business. She was instrumental in developing the program from its simple beginning in 1988 to its current status as a major support program in the School. Barb, as she was known by her friends and colleagues, was a person with whom faculty, staff and students had a warm rapport.

Barb also gave tirelessly to many other organizations on campus, including the Queen's Staff Association (QUSA) and the Queen's Women in Network (QWIN). She was instrumental in launching QWIN's conference on Women, Work and Family held in 1993, and she was a QUSA representative during the social contract negotiations. She was also a member of the Principal's Joint Consultative Committee on staff relations. Despite her deteriorating health, she gave abundantly of her time and energy to these commitments.

We hope this web site will allow Barb Geddes to remain part of Queen's University and continue to play a role in helping fellow employees with career development and professional skills.
