Principal Patrick Deane hosted a townhall for faculty and staff to discuss the return to in-person classes on February 28, and the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on the university’s operations. The event, attended by over 600 employees from across the institution, covered array of topics, including employee health and wellness, student experience, remote work arrangements, and more. 

Principal Deane was joined by several senior administrators who spoke to their respective areas of leadership, including Mark Green, Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic); Donna Janiec, Vice-Principal (Finance and Administration); and Ann Tierney, Vice-Provost and Dean of Student Affairs.

Sam Buttemer—Queen’s Assistant Professor of Public Health Sciences and Public Health Advisor for the Faculty of Health Sciences—was also on hand to give an update on the state of COVID-19 in the Kingston region, the latest information about vaccines, and what to expect as the university moves gradually toward standard operations.
