Queen's Engineering is pleased to the return of Queen’s Engineering Wellness Week, running from November 14-18, 2022. This week-long initiative is specially designed for Engineering students. The focus of this semester’s Wellness Week is reintroducing students to the support services they have access to that they might not be familiar with, or have forgotten about along the way.
Throughout Wellness Week, the Queen’s Engineering Student Services team will be handing out care packages to students, and has also planned an exciting roster of daily events. Specifics, including locations, times and registration links, will be sent directly to students via email.
