The Queen’s community is looking forward to Chancellor Rogers’s installation ceremony and reception where we will come together to welcome her as the 16th Chancellor of her alma mater. Her incredible career, wide-ranging experience, and passion for mental health, truth, healing, and reconciliation make her an ideal representative for Queen’s and its values. We are very fortunate to have her serve as our university’s highest officer and ceremonial head, and eagerly await the celebrations on November 11.
