UPDATE TO ACADEMIC CONSIDERATION OFFICE HOURS
Starting Friday, October 1, Academic Consideration Office Hours will be hosted via Zoom on Tuesdays (2:00 – 3:30pm) and Thursdays (10:30am - 12:00pm). Join us on Zoom. You do not need to use your video to attend the Zoom call. Office hours primarily support students, but are also open to instructors/faculty/staff who have questions or want to connect with the Academic Consideration team.

SEEES UPDATE
How can we work together to more effectively, consistently, and equitably accomplish our work and best support students, faculty, and staff? Across the Faculty, are current processes, relationships, and organizational structures set-up to optimally achieve our strategic priorities? What could work better? Recent focus groups and ThoughtExchanges on several emerging challenges and opportunities have begun to answer these questions as FAS works to develop a Strategy for Excellence, Equity & Enrichment in Service (SEEES). Review the highlights.
Questions or ideas? Contact Maryanne Wainman, Project Manager, Organizational Design.

VIRTUAL TOWN HALL
The Vice-Principal Research, Dr. Nancy Ross, is hosting a virtual town hall meeting on Wednesday, October 13 at 9:30 am for members of the Queen’s research community. This forum will allow researchers to ask questions, and importantly, stay connected to the wider research community.
While there will be an opportunity to actively ask questions during the town hall, for efficiency we encourage researchers to send questions and concerns in advance to research@queensu.ca with the subject line Town Hall Question.
Registration is required by 9:00 am, on Wednesday, October 13. Register in advance using your Queen’s or KHSC email address.

TRAQ 2.0
The Vice-Principal (Research) office looks forward to the opportunity to improve the current research administration systems and to enhance the end user experience through the implementation of a new suite of products supported by Cayuse, an international leader in research administration management systems. TRAQ 2.0 will better integrate research administration activities currently supported by the Research portfolio, including research ethics, animal oversight, animal care operations, and research grants and agreements, plus biohazard compliance (Env Health and Safety).
From fall 2021 to spring 2022, The VPR office will work with Cayuse to build and test the new platform interface. For additional details, including sample images of the Cayuse platform, please visit the TRAQ 2.0 website. Do not hesitate to reach out with feedback or questions either directly or via the website questions and comments tool.
