Jumping into Lake Ontario

Despite the university's proximity to Lake Ontario, many students complete their studies at Queen’s with limited direct engagement with this central body of water. A Global Development Studies course designed and taught by Dr. David McDonald seeks to change that by immersing students in the history, science, policy, and contemporary challenges surrounding the lake, from local concerns to global issues.

Respectful engagement at Queen's

Dear members of the Queen’s community,

Over the past week, our institution has been faced with new challenges that have been felt across the Queen’s community, including an ongoing labour disruption.

This moment serves as a reminder of the fundamental role that universities must play in fostering a plurality of views, encouraging rigorous debate, and upholding the right to free expression. At Queen’s, we are steadfast in our commitment to these freedoms, recognizing the vital contributions made by dialogue, demonstration, and labour action within the bounds of the law.

At the heart of it all

It is doubtful whether many members of the university community in Ontario – whether the alumni of its 23 publicly assisted institutions or the faculty members and staff working for the good of current students and the advancement of knowledge across the province – will look back on 2024 as a year of hope and promise. While the mission of higher education is itself always inspiring and heartening, the circumstances within which that mission had to be prosecuted over the last year have been unpromising to say the least.
