First-Year Foundation

Raftr: Your Digital Community Platform

Raftr

Exclusively for first-year students, Raftr is your new digital community platform to connect with your peers, learn about upcoming events and socials, and get answers to all your questions. All incoming first-year students will be invited to join Raftr so you can get a head start on building your community before you arrive on campus this fall.

Raftr is one of the key ways to stay connected throughout the year. Built with a focus on community, events, and social integration, Raftr is the one-stop shop for virtual interactions at Queen’s. 

Available on a variety of devices, you can connect to Raftr at any time and get updates on events, links to join in, or connect with your classmates!
