Ontario Universities’ Fair – Day 2 done!

Hello everyone,

Well, day two of the OUF has come and gone, and I have to say I’m having a really fun time this year!  It has been an absolute pleasure meeting with many of you from the Toronto area.  All of the Queen’s staff and faculty here this weekend have been very impressed with the thoughtfulness of your questions this year.  As well, I’ve been having a lot of fun giving presentations along with my collague Allison.

I’d like to throw a special shoutout to a few students I met today – the three gentlemen I met in the presentation room who were interested in philosophy, psychology and sociology; the young lady and her family who spoke to me about the Science program and her interest in going into large animal vet studies; the student who made her way down from Lisgar Collegiate in Ottawa (Ottawa!!) for the fair; and last but not least the student and his family interested in Medical school (remember – you need to do an undergraduate degree first!).

I really enjoy meeting with students and their families, and the OUF is such a great way for us to do this.  From here, I’ll be back in Kingston for week to prepare for my adventures to Northwestern Ontario and the Ottawa area.  (Heads up Kenora and Kanata – Queen’s is coming to you!)

For now, I am going to get geared up for the last day of the OUF.  If you haven’t been yet, tomorrow is your last chance to see us!

Come say hi to us in TO!

We are coming to Toronto!

As many of you are settling in to your final year of high school, we at Queen’s are gearing up for many weeks of traveling to high schools around the world to speak with students like you!  This weekend, we will be participating in one of the largest student recruitment events in North America – the Ontario Universities’ Fair (OUF).

The OUF is a great way for you to gather a lot of information from university representatives in a short amount of time. Queen’s will have staff coming down from the Undergraduate Admission office, Student Awards and various faculties all to help you find out if Queen’s will be a good fit for you.

I highly encourage you to come to see us at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM or Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM.  You can learn more about the OUF by visiting www.ouf.ca.  There is a lot of great information on the OUF webpage, including suggested questions to ask if you’re not sure what kind of things you should be asking.

Come on down this weekend and say hi.  Our office staff are geared up to meet with you, so don’t be shy!
