The IAAU campaign strives to relieve stress by helping students to recognize the value of their experiences and accomplishments. The campain launch days are WED NOV 20 to FRI NOV 22. Come out to the Queen’s Center between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and we will show how “it all adds up”!

Spill the Tea: Internship Edition is new initiative QWiSE is launching this year in partnership with QUIP (Queen's Undergraduate Internship Program). This event will be an informal/casual Q&A drop-in session hosted by QWiSE and QUIP interns, where students with questions regarding internship can interact and converse with returning QUIP students. The event will be taking place Wednesday, November 20th from 10:30 AM - 3:30 PM in Gordon Hall 302. An event like this would of course be incomplete without some tea and biscuits, which will be served throughout the day, so bring your questions AND appetite! All are welcome to attend! Below is the list of returned interns who will be there and where they completed their internship: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZCQ0gMuI_M79JAJvaS2zpEfC1uX_vk7ouvwegBgnz1c/edit?usp=sharing
