In-Person Campus Tours
Campus tours are running as scheduled.
As you may be aware, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) Local 901 (Unit 1) is currently on strike. PSAC 901 represents approximately 2,000 graduate students who are employed part-time as Graduate Teaching Assistants, Teaching Fellows, Graduate Research Assistants, and JD/MD-enrolled students employed as Teaching Assistants at Queen’s.
The university respects the unions’ right to strike and the right of employees to participate in the strike. Part of the strike action may include picketing on campus.
More information can be found in the Labour News section of our website.
Come discover your potential at Queen's! Join us in Kingston for an in-person tour and picture yourself as a Queen's student.
