anada marks its sesquicentennial this year, Cand amid the excitement and celebrations much attention is being, justly, paid to how as a country we can improve our national record on the treatment of our Aboriginal Peoples. There is a strong feeling that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report, issued in 2015 and published by McGill- Queen’s University Press, has the capacity to mark a watershed in Aboriginal matters, and not simply with respect to the apologies owed for the blight of the residential schools. Educational access and opportunity will lie at the core of any initiative to empower First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people. Queen’s , along with other Canadian universi - ties, is doing its bit. Last year we set up a commit - s n o tee under Vice-Provost (Teaching and Learning) i t a l

Queen’s University Volume III  –: Testing Tradition

“The question is: how did this university, where tradition is genetically encoded, dance with the blasts of change that swept through it between ,0/, and -++.? Duncan McDowall investigates the challenges Queen’s faced during what he would call a ‘yeasty’ time. I expected Testing Tradition to be informative and illuminating. And it was. What I hadn’t anticipated was to be so engrossed by it… a hugely engaging and important book.” Shelagh Rogers, O.C., Artsci’11, host of CBC’s The Next Chapter and Chancellor, University of Victoria

“Fascinating reading!

s an Aboriginal student at Queen’s in the early 1950s, Marlene Brant Castellano didn’t find university to be the close-knit community experienced by others. She felt like she had “walked off the dock into the deep end.” Today, Dr. Brant Castellano – a pioneer and champion of Indigenous rights and education – sees the opportunity for Queen’s to grow and become a more inclusive community that supports all its members, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal. With her fellow members of the Queen’s Truth and Reconciliation Task Force, she is confident a big shift is on the horizon.

With both residence and day options available, the QSEA program is an engineering-focused educational summer program that exposes your child to engineering design, as well as engineering elds such as chemical, civil, electrical and computing, geological, mechanical engineering, mining, and others. The Academy runs in July and August, and o ers three concurrent programs per week, with each exploring interesting components and disciplines of engineering. Students can attend a one week session, or to get a complete picture, they can sign up for as many weeks as they wish. QSEA and QSEA Jr. presents students with a broad engineering overview, using lab facilities and thought- provoking projects to inform and engage students without being technically overwhelming. The team-based design projects involve collaboration, leadership, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. These are based on the same concepts and methodologies Queen’s Engineering students study. The residence program includes: on-campus accommodations with three meals/day, full-time supervision, and supervised activities each evening. The day program includes lunch, and full-time supervision.

RETURNING TO THE STARS

For the third time in his illustrious career, Andrew Feustel , PhD’d`, has been assigned to a I?M? mission to space. He will launch to the Inter - national Space Station in March ^\]c as part of Expedition ``. He will remain behind and take command of the station’s Expedition `a crew, returning to Earth with the crew of Expedition `b. He is scheduled to remain in orbit for six months. Dr. Feustel was one of four distinguished alumni chosen as hon - orary degree recipients during the fall convocation ceremonies. In his address to the graduating class, he reflected on lessons learned during his career in geophysics and with the space program, and reminisced on his time spent in Kingston. “While you’re at a university you don’t realize how unique and special that university can be,” he said. “Whether you realize it or not while you’re there, those experiences you have, the friends you meet, the colleagues you meet, the professionals you meet, all have a very significant impact on your life.” Dr. Feustel joined I?M? as part of the astronaut corps in ^\\\. His previous missions included the final mission to the Hubble Space Telescope aboard the space shuttle Atlantis in ^\\d and the final flight of the shuttle Endeavour in ^\]]. He has maintained a close connection to Queen’s during his career, returning to campus multiple times and

t has been a busy but wonderful fall season of Itravel for me, connecting with our alumni in London U.K. , Vancouver, Toronto, and of course right here in Kingston. In London, our alumni gathered in the re - cently renovated Canada House to hear Stefanie Reid, Artsci’06, talk about her incredible journey as a Paralympic athlete. That journey started right here at Queen’s when Stefanie was an undergrad - uate and she explored track and field for the first time. We heard an inspiring and powerful story by our 2009 One to Watch Award recipient – and there sure has been a lot to watch! Stefanie is a five-time world record holder in track and field. While in the U.K. , I was also able to make my first-ever visit to the Bader International Study Centre and deliver both an alumni flag and 175th celebration banners to our students there. It was a lovely chance to speak to many of our first-year students attending the BISC , and learn about their experiences while studying there. The castle offers such a unique educational experience for students from around the world. Without a doubt, d l i W it is a jewel in our Queen’s crown. n e
