The Queen’s University exam period officially ended last Friday, with many students packing up and heading home for the summer. I happened to get lucky with this year’s exam schedule, and finished writing my exams two weeks ago. Having moved back to Toronto for the summer, I am looking forward to starting my first day of work tomorrow and settling into a new routine. This year, I’ll be working full time in Marketing for an Agile software development company alongside a Queen’s University alumnus.

With the weather warming up, I highly encourage you to visit the Queen’s campus if you get the opportunity. Though many students have gone home for the summer, there are still students who have decided to stay in Kingston either for summer school, work, or to complete research projects. With the student residences empty, it’s also a chance to tour the residence buildings or maybe even stay in residence overnight! Take a walk around downtown Kingston, have a picnic next to Lake Ontario or get a tour of Goodes Hall and see how the expansion is coming along. I look forward to seeing the incoming frosh in September!
