It is about 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.

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.

Dr. Barry Lavallee is a member of the Manitoba First Nation Métis/Saulteaux (Makwa clan) communities and a family physician specializing in Indigenous health and northern practice. He will be visiting Queen's University for 3 days of events from May 15-17, 2019, inclusive. Dr. Lavallee, the keynote speaker for all three events, is a dynamic presenter who speaks articulately, practically, and passionately on issues of social justice in medicine across Canada.
The faculty development workshop is scheduled for May 16 from 8:00-12:00 (breakfast included) at the University Club. Dr. Lavallee will be speaking on "Teaching Methods for Addressing Cultural Safety: Promoting Indigenous Health".
The session outcomes are as follows:
- Discuss the impact of language on cultural safety
- Employ teaching methods in clinical and classroom settings that promote cultural safety for peers and patients
- Illustrate the connection between teaching cultural safety and health promotion
After Dr. Lavallee's presentation, Laura Maracle, Indigenous Cultural Safety Coordinator for Four Directions will lead us in the KAIROS blanket exercise. The KAIROS Blanket Exercise is a "unique, participatory history lesson - developed in collaboration with Indigenous Elders, knowledge keepers and educators that fosters truth, understanding, respect, and reconciliation among Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples".
You can register for the half-day faculty development workshop here.
