Hello! It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you this year's team of Student Ambassadors for Student Community Relations. 

You may have received a visit from them or have seen them in the community or tabling on campus.  You will often find the team out and about in University District doing door knocks to meet students and provide information on local bylaws, the University District Safety Initiative, neighbourhood safety, and information about living Off-Campus and getting connected to the broader Kingston Community. 

Hello Students! 

We hope that your summer was restful, and you are ready for another exciting term at Queen’s. We are looking forward to welcoming you back to campus very soon! 

Later this month and into early February, keep an eye out for the Student Ambassador team as they make their rounds in the University District, engaging and checking in with students. These check-ins are an opportunity for you to ask questions or express any concerns you may have. If we don’t have an immediate answer, don’t worry! We’ll look into it and get back to you as soon as possible. 

Hopefully you are all preparing for a restful break from schoolwork. Many students travel home for winter break, and it is important to prepare your university house/apartment to be empty for potentially multiple weeks. Here are a few good tips to avoid damage to your home away from home! 

Are you in need of a little pick-me-up treat? Keep an eye out for the Student Ambassador team later this month. They will be out in the community, hosting some engagement stations to check-in with students and wish you well on your exams. Don’t miss the chance to grab a treat from them. So if you see them out and about, please be sure to stop and say hi.

Living Off-Campus can be a time of excitement and personal growth for university students. It offers a newfound sense of independence and the chance to become part of a larger community beyond the boundaries of the campus. However, with this freedom comes the responsibility of being a good neighbour and cultivating a positive community experience.
