E VENTS AND AWARDS
A 125th anniversary Homecoming Hundreds of Queen’s Engineering alumni and friends gathered in Kingston between October 19 and 21, 2018, to celebrate Homecoming in our 125th anniversary year. New was the first-ever Dean’s Homecoming Breakfast, held under a giant tent behind Beamish-Munro Hall. Student representatives from the design teams and student clubs were on hand to chat with alumni and showcase their projects. Feedback was very positive, and we look forward to the 4’s and 9’s joining us October 18-20 this fall. This year, the Dean’s Homecoming Breakfast will be in the new Mitchell Hall at 69 Union Street.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the Dean’s pancake breakfast at Homecoming 2018. It was a fantastic opportunity to hear from current students about their enthusiasm for their program. I was particularly impressed with the extracurricular activities that were presented, from the concrete toboggan, to the biomedical innovation, to the women in STEM activities. The students were so engaged and it clearly demonstrated the heart of Queen’s—the collegial sense of belonging, along with innovation and engagement. The passport with free socks for completion was a great way to get those attending involved.” —Pamela Eisener-Parsche Meds’90, via Michael Parsche Sc’88
