Principal’s Welcome
Welcome back to Queen’s! We are so happy you are here
in Kingston to celebrate Homecoming with us, and hope
your weekend is full of time spent reminiscing with
friends and creating new memories.
I wish to extend a special welcome to members of the Class
of 1969 who are now officially a part of the Tricolour Guard,
which celebrates alumni who graduated 50 years ago or more.
Whether you graduated a year ago or many decades ago, you
always have a place here at Queen’s.
I am thrilled to be back at Queen’s myself and am experiencing
my own homecoming as I get reacquainted with the campus,
people, and special qualities of this university. Over the course of
Homecoming weekend, I hope you get a chance to revisit your
favourite Queen’s and Kingston locations and partake in many
of the activities you enjoyed during your time here as a student.
It is important to thank the many volunteers and community
partners who have worked hard to make this a memorable,
safe, and cherished event for everyone. And thank you for your
commitment to and love of Queen’s; your spirit and dedication
are a large part of what makes this institution so beloved.
Cha Gheill!
Patrick Deane
Principal and Vice-Chancellor,
Queen’s University
