Katie is the Grad of the Day!

Her favourite memory of Queen's:
There are way to memories to only pick one, but I must say even after four years at Queen's I will never forget Concurrent Education's frosh week. There was so much energy, excitement and Con-Ed love all in one week. After that week I knew that my time at Queen's would be incredible even it was only spent with all the wonderful people that I had met in that one week alone!

Her favourite thing about her profession:
What's there not to love about becoming a teacher, I get to work with kids every single day, and see the joy on their faces from the smallest things in life! I get holidays and summers off, but most of all I get to try to help kids become the person they want to be by supporting them, teaching them and caring for them.

Her favourite quote:
Live every moment like it's your last, Love every person you encounter, Laugh every chance you have!

And finally, she offers you future students this piece of advice:
School is about the experience, you will gain knowledge, you will gain friends and you will gain life skills. Realize all the incredible opportunities you have for Queen's and don't take them for granted but live your life to the fullest amazed at the endless possibilities of the things you can do with your life!

I absolutely loved my time with Taylor Studios! The people were friendly, welcoming and fun! The 30 minutes went by so quickly, and the pictures were great with a mix of professional and fun photos. I was highly impressed.

Veronica is the Grad of the Day!


A message from Veronica:


I am the Purchasing Manager of Tricolour Outlet, a retail service at Queen's University. The scarf is one of the new items I introduced this summer with Queen's University knit on one side and Go Queen's Go on the other. The pockets keep your hands cozy while also allowing you to lift the scarf and show off a side of the scarf.

In celebration of four years at Queen's University and my time working at Tricolour Outlet, this photo captures my undergraduate story.

Lia is the Grad of the Day!

A quick message from Lia:

I have loved my time at Queen's. I am a history student, and have enjoyed being able to develop an understanding of the ways in which different national groups view historic events.


The best piece of advice I was given recently is this: I was told recently that 84% of the things we worry about never happen. We should, therefore, worry 84% less.


I found my experience at Taylor Studios to be excellent! Taylor Studios is a highly professional, efficient, quality photo studio. My pictures turned out beautifully.

Paige is the Grad of the Day!



We asked Paige what her favourite thing about Queens is and this is what she had to say:
"Stately architecture, tall trees, colourful gardens, and lakeside trails - Queen's is simply a beautiful setting to be in. My favourite memories of Queen's were all created in this beautiful environment, whether it was studying by the lake, having lunch on the lawn at Summerhill, or walking in to Grant Hall and admiring the view for the first time.

What is your favourite thing about your profession?
"Nursing has already opened up many doors of opportunity for me, and the future looks even brighter. I love how the profession of nursing is very diverse - nurses are needed in the community, in clinics, in factories, in hospitals, overseas, etc. There is something for every personality!"

What do you like most about Kingston?
"Although Kingston may be called a city, it still has community spirit. I love how connected you can easily become to the Kingston population, through sports, volunteering, clubs, etc, and feel as though you belong."

What's the best advice someone has given you?
"Nothing worth having comes easy" are words oft spoken by my mother. My nursing education at Queen's has come with many challenges and hard work, but this piece of advice has reminded me that every long day and night spent studying, every deadline, and every 12 hour clinical shift, will someday be worth more than gold.

Sarah BMus is the Grad of the Day!

Sarah's favourite memories at Queen's were her concurrent education placements in the high school music classroom. She learned a lot about teaching and was able to share her love of music with others.

What she loves most about being a music teacher is the opportunity to teach students new skills in singing, playing and participating in music. Music can be really enjoyable and it is great to be able to show students that fun side of education.

Her favourite things about Kingston are all of the arts opportunities. We have the Kingston Symphony, Grand Theatre, K-Rock Centre, Screening Room, Queen's music, drama and opera performances and much more! She loves how many different elements of arts there are in a smaller city setting.

The best piece of advice she has received is from her parents: to set goals, work hard to fulfill those goals and to always follow your dreams.

Rebecca, Aly & Arlinda!


"Life is divine chaos. Embrace it!"

People often say: Live, love and laughter - and that's exactly what this fun group of ladies do! Rebecca, Aly and Arlinda had a grand time at the Studio for their House portrait sitting. They offered to share some of their insight about Queens, Kingston and life with future grads...

Our favourite memory of Queen's would be the countless nights we spent at QP after a long day at work, if we didn't want to cook for ourselves, or just to get a chance to get together. It's great to relax with some friends and sangria is great!

What they love most about their field:
The Kinesiology program is quite small and so it is possible to get to know most of your classmates. We all get along really well and have a great time together whether its sitting together in class, being on a team for Bewic Sports days or having socials throughout the year.

Their favourite things about Kingston are warm afternoons playing frisbee, swimming and that all sorts of shops and restaurants are in such close proximity!

Gather up your housemates, classmates and friends for a House shoot. Book yours today and capture these great memories on camera!

Frances BComm is the Grad of the Day!


Frances, the Queen of Commerce!

We asked Frances what she loves most about her profession:
In allowing for interpretation and success from a wide range of perspectives and approaches, business is continually changing and is filled with an endless means to success. With that said, I love the fast-pace environment and the breadth of opportunities that the field presents. In specific to Finance, I enjoy understanding the cash flow behind a business' operations and being rewarded for accurately forecasting or valuing certain aspects of a business.

Her favourite part of attending Queens was the tight-knit culture, inspirational school spirit and beautiful campus!

Celebrate your time at Queens by posing with your favourite school memorabilia for your graduation photos! Spaces are limited so book your appointment soon!

Jeff BScH is the Grad of the Day!

Jeff was kind enough to share his experience and memories of his time here in Kingston attending Queen's University.

What is your favourite memory of Queen's University?
My favourite memory would definitely be frosh week. Being a first year university student and coming to Queen's for the first time made me really nervous but frosh week took all my worries away! We were welcomed with open arms and greeted with such enthusiastic Queen's spirit, which is unique to only Queen's. Through frosh week I met a great bunch of friends and had a fantastic start to my University life.

What do you love most about your profession or field?
Being in biochemistry, research plays an enormous role. I have a strong passion for research into protein struction and function, but in general I feel that biochemistry is a very dynamic subject that has implications in every aspect of health related sciences.

What do you enjoy most about Kingston?
Kingston is a very quiet and cozy little town. It provides an exceptional study environment compared to the bustling cities like Toronto. I enjoy the occassional lakeside stroll, the well preserved architectural styles aroudn the town and definitely the company of the wonderful people of Kingston!

Would you share your favourite quote with future grads?
"Great and good are seldom the same man" - Winston Churchill

Dan MD is the Grad of the Day!
