The impact of graduate students is felt by our community all year round. Their research, community involvement, and contributions to campus life result in economic, cultural, and scientific benefits.

Over the past week, the contributions of Queen’s masters and doctoral have been on full display as part of the inaugural Celebrating Graduate Studies week.

The week, aimed at recognizing current graduate students and recruiting new students, included panel discussions, research presentations, and recruitment events. The celebration also aimed to put a face to graduate studies at Queen’s, allowing community members the opportunity to meet graduate students through events like the “Human Library”, a Research Showcase at City Hall, and a live taping of the CFRC 101.9fm radio show “Grad Chat”.

During the radio show, host CJ the DJ interviewed five graduate students including Korey Pasch (Political Studies), Caitlin Miron (Chemistry), Anika Cloutier (Management), Andre Brault (Civil Engineering), and Amy Stephenson (Aging & Health) about their research and their experience at Queen’s.
