It’s a full house at this morning’s annual @QueensU Enrolment Insights Summit! Thanks to colleagues in Admissions and Recruitment for their work coordinating and offering this session today (and all their work over the past year).

Boat people: why, if your boat's starboard navigation light is green and your port navigation light is red… Are starboard hand buoys red, and port hand buoys green? (Trying to get my Pleasure Craft Operator Card and I'm scratching my head at this apparent contradiction)

Thanks to Kingston Transit for getting me downtown for today’s Queen's University morning convocation ceremony—looking forward to celebrating our graduates, and Dr. Jennifer Kennedy, recipient of the Chancellor A. Charles Baillie Teaching Award. Congrats all!

Did a little foraging on the morning dog walk—can confirm the Serviceberries / Amelanchiers are ripe. Betty and Bruce got some too and they agree: delicious!

The neighbourhood abounds with fledgling birds, baby bunnies and berries that are ripening. Seemingly just like that, it’s June 21. Happy Solstice, first day of summer and National Indigenous Peoples Day!

Kingston I need your help. I either lost, misplaced or had my little black back pack go missing last night. Highway 15 Independent Grocer or Highway 15 Shoppers Drug Mart. Cash Reward for Contents. Thanks so much in advance. 🇨🇦 Make It Home YGK - could you please share?

Well, the first classes of the 2024-25 @QueensU academic year are already in the books! Wishing everyone the best for the new academic year ahead. Thanks to those embracing this year’s beginning with energy, curiosity, and a commitment to excellence in teaching and learning.

This quote (and the idea of “purposeful change” as an antidote to “righteous anger”), from Dr. Robert Zemsky stood out in today’s The Chronicle of Higher Education Daily Briefing newsletter:

Here's an exciting paper (not just for the scientific findings). If migration isn't just individual birds moving in time and space, but rather a multi-species "migrating community" what might that means for our own conceptualization of these birds' lives?

Great to hear Dr. Vicki Remenda share a vision for reimagining engineering education this morning—particularly the emphasis on interdisciplinary responsibility. All part of today’s update on Reimagining Engineering Education Smith Engineering

Welcome to (et bienvenue à) Ontario, Isabelle!

The day focused on breast cancer awareness continues with a visit to #BRADay! A powerful event supporting education and connection around breast reconstruction. Grateful for the strength of survivors like Heather and the work of KingstonHSC & Rose of Hope committee.

Today, we released guidance for instructors at @QueensU on the use of #GenerativeAI in assessing student work. It emphasizes human judgement remaining essential throughout the process. See the guidance here: 🔗 queensu.ca/provost/teachi…
