Through the simple act of a friendly phone call, Queen’s students and recent graduates are making a difference in the well-being of senior alumni and forging meaningful new relationships within the Queen’s community.
In Spring 2020, we launched the Queen’s Community Connections Project (QCCP) in partnership with elder law expert, and CEO of CanAge Laura Tamblyn Watts, Artsci’94 in response to the early and widespread COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. This award-winning program has been connecting Queen’s students and recent graduates with senior alumni to combat social isolation.
Volunteers are carefully matched with senior alumni who share similar interests, degrees, or extracurricular activities. With the support of Alumni staff, volunteers set up regular calling schedules with their alumni partners.
If you have any questions about this program or would like to learn more, please contact connectionsproject@queensu.ca.
