A SPECIAL UPDATE FROM... FACULTY OF A PLACE TO LEARN, DISCOVER, THINK AND DO. ack to school marks the start of a transformation for all of us. As I write the faculty is launching into fall with a grand opening; a new strategic direction for fundraising; an office move; and a multitude of successes to celebrate. All of these activities are leading up to an exciting academic year ahead. Our Creative Arts departments and Faculty are ecstatic about the grand opening of the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts this September. Our students will have an amazing opportunity to study not only from top-notch faculty, but also in a world-class facility. I can promise you that the sound and performances will be unlike anything you have heard before; and will be definitely well worth a season’s ticket. Thanks to those of you who have already put your name to a seat during our seat campaign. The incoming class this fall is seeing growth in many ways – more upper year transfers than previous years; increased first year enrollment; and significant support for online course development. Our Continuing and Distance Studies office was queensu.ca/artsci ARTS AND SCIENCE ONLINE awarded 13 out of 60 courses (the highest amount awarded to a single institution) through the Ontario Krysta Andrews graduated from Queen’s in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science Honours in Biology. Since graduating, Krysta has enrolled in online courses through the Faculty of Arts and Science as a way to stay connected to Queen’s. Online courses allowed her the flexibility to earn academic credits from her Alma Mater while living outside of Kingston and working full-time. Learn more: queensu.ca/artsci_online 2014 Online initiative. These courses are a great opportunity for alumni like you to stay connected to your Queen’s experience and continue on your path of lifelong learning. Recently we welcomed the School of Urban and Regional Planning who joined with the Geography Department; the Industrial Relations Master’s programs; and the Industrial Relations Centre to the Faculty. If you haven’t heard of these disciplines, you might consider doing a little weekend reading. In particular, the irc (irc.queensu.ca) could be a great resource for you or your colleagues. Finally, near and dear to my heart is a push for entrance scholarships for Arts students. The post-secondary environment is increasingly competitive and we face a real risk of losing students if we can't compete financially. We don’t want students to decline our offer of admission simply because they did not receive a competitive scholarship from us but did from others – especially if those students are the exact students we want in our community. In fact, we should be making sure that students don’t decline at all and to do this we must remove any barriers that stand in their way. Want to help me? We can do this together. Thanks for all that you do for us; because of you our transformation is taking shape.
