But, as always, we're interested in your new material too! Submissions from students, staff, faculty, and guests are welcome! Check out buff.ly/32Mjin8 for more details
With the add/drop deadline coming up we still have spaces in a few of our classes. If you need to pick up an elective or want to make any changes to your schedule be sure to do so before Friday! The best part? Most of these courses have no final exam!
Why is there a field called Religious Studies (or the academic study of religion in any field)? Here's a straightforward answer from a just-graded student paper: "Since the beginning of human history, religion has influenced the way that people act and think about their world."
Remember, then take up the fight!! 901's demands for anti-sexual violence and anti-racism training aren't being taken seriously by #QueensU. Tell @QueensPrincipal it's time to move beyond talk towards a safe and equitable campus! #NationalDayOfRemembrance #ValueOurWork
I hope you can join the livestream of the memorial event at 1 p.m. today to remember 14 women murdered at l’École Polytechnique in Montreal in 1989. We must never forget. engineering.queensu.ca/news/2021/12/E…
