In this issue Rector Niki Boytchuk-Hale writes eloquently about the John Deutsch University Centre, the JDUC, which recently reopened after several years undergoing renovation. Niki notes that it is “a place where the pulse of campus life can be felt in its purest form.” Few would disagree, and that pulse was easy to feel when donors, friends, and current members of the university community gathered on a sunny morning in September to celebrate the return of life to the building. 

Distinguished colleagues, family and friends, graduands:

One year ago today, we lost a giant. Our Chancellor Emeritus, Murray Sinclair Mazina Gheezik-iban, began his journey to the spirit world in the early hours of November 4th, 2024. We are so grateful for his life, for his legacy of great change in the hearts and minds of Canadians, his passion for truth everywhere, including Queen’s.
