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!
