I am pleased to announce the following updates to the Associate Dean appointments in the Faculty of Arts and Science:

The Associate Dean responsible for Global Engagement in the Faculty of Arts and Science advances the Faculty's commitment to the meaningful interaction of students, staff and faculty with the world. Given this focus, the Associate Dean leads initiatives including partnerships, projects and programs in support of academic excellence, research, and global awareness, and is responsible for advancing global engagement and mobility as integral parts of the learning experience of Queen's students.
Dr. Lynda Jessup will be on leave from July 1 - December 31, 2019.

It is that time of year again! Our plans for the Major Maps and Prospective Student Documents will be changing slightly this year as we start to develop and pilot a digitized version of a course calendar/Academic Calendar.
As you all know, we piloted a new version of the Major Maps and re-introduced Departmental Prospective Student Documents this past year. Although they were well received by faculty and students, the Major Maps were ultimately unable to fully capture the amount of specific information that current students need for their degrees. In an attempt to simplify the process this year, we will be continuing with the two separate documents, but the Major Maps will be getting a more simplified and generic back, and there will be just one 'map' per department.
Please review and make edits to the following by June 12, 2019:
Front and back page of the one-page prospective student document
Middle of your 'home' Major Map (ex. Biology would only edit Biology Major)
The Major Maps are being spearheaded by Career Services this year. This means that, instead of emailing your changes to the Faculty office, you will email all of your changes to Career Services at [email protected] by June 12, 2019. Once Career Services has received your edits, they will work on creating the first draft of the Major Map for your approval, which will include the new back for you to see.
Career Services will send your edits to your Departmental Prospective Student Document to the Faculty Office, for us to incorporate and send back to you for review.
As a reminder, if you would like to suggest new or different content blocks for the front of either document, feel free to reach out to Sarah Chapman to discuss your options.
If
you do have any questions about this new change and/or process, please feel free to email Sarah Chapman, and she will be happy to address them.

A separate fund to be administered by the Faculty Deans has been established to encourage academic visits by women, visible minorities, aboriginal peoples, and people with disabilities. This is not to be confused with the Principal's Development Fund - International Visitors Program (Categories 1, 2, and 3)
Guidelines for Recommendation can be found
here. The Principal's Office will establish an Advisory Committee to review all applications and make recommendations to the Dean on those proposals deemed worthy of funding. Decisions should be made by early September 2019.
Please forward your application(s) to
Diane Reid directly by
August 16, 2019.

Dean's Initiatives Awards - Conference Fund
The FAS Conference Fund provides support for regular faculty members and continuing adjuncts in the Faculty of Arts and Science who are organizing professional conferences, colloquia, symposia, or workshops in the Kingston area or at the Bader International Study Centre in Herstmonceaux. The maximum amount of the award is $1000. The funds may be increased to $3000 for use as in-kind matching funds for external funding obtained through successful applications to external programs such as SSHRC Connection Grants. If an application for external funds is successful, the applicant will still be eligible for $1000 in support.
Funding is awarded on a competitive basis and priority is given to events that (a) reach a broad audience, particularly at the national or international levels, (b) include student participation, particularly involving presentation of their research, (c) include partnering support from a department or departments and (d) how they incorporate attention to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigeneity. The deadline for
applications is July 1, 2019.

EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
The CTL is pleased to offer grants for educational research projects. These grants encourage and support rigorous, systematic, evidence-based studies of teaching and learning, and facilitate the dissemination of results of that work to others.
There are two types of educational research grants:
- Two (2) research grants for up to $1,000 available to graduate students interested in educational research projects. The funding is for projects apart from graduate thesis work in a program of study.
- Two (2) research grants available to all other Queen's educators for up to $5,000 based on selection criteria and budget requirements.
Find more details here.
