We are people who want to learn, discover, think, and do.

We push the limits of what can be achieved and develop ideas that can make a difference in the world.

For more than 175 years, our community has been more than a collection of bright minds – Queen’s has attracted people with an ambitious spirit. We imagine what the future can be, and work together to realize it.

This is the Queen’s spirit. A bold, enduring spirit of initiative.

Queen’s University is situated on traditional Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee Territory. This ‘acknowledgement of territory’ statement is an institutional recognition of the traditional inhabitants of the land on which Queen’s University is located. To acknowledge this traditional territory is to recognize its longer history, one predating the establishment of the earliest European colonies. It is also to acknowledge this territory’s significance for the Indigenous peoples who lived, and continue to live, upon it and whose practices and spiritualties were tied to the land and continue to develop in relationship to the territory and its other inhabitants today. Please visit the Four Directions Indigenous Student Centre during your time at
Queen’s.

We are researchers, scholars, artists, professors and students with an ambitious spirit who want to develop ideas that can make a difference in the world. People who imagine together what the future could be and work together to realize it.
