On Friday, a group of people came together in front of Richardson Hall making demands of the institution regarding the war in the Middle East that are similar to those recently seen in colleges and universities across North America. A number of individuals at that gathering have now set up tents on campus, 15 as of Sunday afternoon, and they remain in place in the courtyard between Richardson Hall and Mac-Corry.
Dear Queen’s Community,
As you may know, a total solar eclipse will take place the afternoon of Monday, April 8th. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event for all of us lucky enough to be in Kingston as the city is in its direct path and will provide the perfect opportunity to fully view the eclipse. The last fully visible eclipse at this geographical location occurred in 1349 and the next one will not take place until 2399. The full effect (totality) of the eclipse will last for over three minutes between 3:22 and 3:25 pm.
Financial challenges in higher education do not usually attract great attention in the national media. Recently, however, Queen’s has found itself much in the news as we have begun the difficult process of rebalancing our budget to take account of the very real fiscal constraints which affect every university in Ontario.
A poignant Photovoice exhibit has been popping up in various Kingston venues and was recently spotted at the North American Primary Care Research Group Annual Meeting in San Francisco. It combines images and candid quotes from Kingston area families about resiliency, despite the various challenges they face. It also demonstrates the unwavering commitment of a research team to community-engaged participatory action research and to United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 17, Partnerships for the Goals.
