On Thursday, August 3, 2023, we received news of the escalating tensions within the Amhara region. We write to express our utmost concern and care for the Ethiopian students in our Queen’s community, our colleagues at the University of Gondar, Ethiopian Queen's alumni and all others in the Amhara region, who are facing the impact of this developing conflict.
On a recent June visit to Egypt, our Vice-Provost, Global Engagement signed a new exchange agreement with The American University in Cairo. This five year agreement will see Queen's students in the Faculties of Arts and Science, Smith School of Business, and Law go on exchange in Egypt.

Over the past two weeks, conflict has broken out between rival forces in Sudan, with violence particularly affecting civilians in the capital city of Khartoum, as the numbers of those who have been killed or injured continues to climb. We have been deeply troubled by news of residents who have lost access to drinking water and other basic supplies, as locals find themselves caught in the middle of an increasingly urgent and fast-changing situation.
Today we are proud to share the Global Engagement Strategic Plan 2023-2028.
The Vice-Provost, Global Engagement sends a warm congratulations to Jane Chin, Adjunct Faculty Member, Faculty of Education, who is the recipient of this year's International Education Innovation Award as part of the Principal’s Teaching and Learning Awards!
The Principal’s International Education Innovation Award recognizes innovation in internationalization of both teaching and learning in programs or courses. Successful innovation is exemplified through evidence-based approaches to learning outcomes that are student-focused.
