    Need some Support?

    The Peer Support Centre (PSC) is comprised of 100+ dedicated staff and volunteers. The Peer Support Centre (PSC) provides all undergraduate students with confidential, empathetic, peer-to-peer listening, including resource referrals and practical guidance. Students are welcome to come in to talk about homesickness, personal grievances, mental health, instances of oppression and/or discrimination, sexual violence, academic challenges, and more! The PSC should not be used in the place of professional mental health services, but we are more than happy to listen to your experiences, and assist you with reaching out to further supports.

Clubs

Comprised of 300+ unique clubs and 16000+ students getting involved each year, the clubs community is an integral part of the Queen’s experience. Clubs not only enhance student life, but provide opportunities to make meaningful contributions to the Queen’s and Kingston community. No matter what you’re interested or passionate about, there’s something for everyone to get involved!

Students

The Alma Mater Society runs 11 services which have been established to meet the wants and needs of Queen’s students. Every service is run top to bottom, from management to staff, completely by Queen’s undergraduates. From printing and copying, to coffee, to digital media, the AMS has opportunities available in a wide range of fields.



Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands of the Mississauga of the Credit, Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) peoples, known as Katarokwi, or colonially as “Kingston.” The Alma Mater Society at Queen’s University seeks to recognize the importance of these lands to the Indigenous peoples who have existed since time immemorial. The unjust acquisition of these lands occurred through the Crawford Purchase of 1783, a land treaty upheld by the First Peoples but later undermined by the British Crown and the “Canadian” government. This history of numerous broken promises and treaties continues to impact Indigenous communities today. As settlers on this land, we acknowledge our continued benefit from systemic structures that marginalize Indigenous peoples. Recognizing systemic oppression, it is our duty to actively listen to and amplify Indigenous voices, addressing both past and ongoing injustices for meaningful, positive change. We are grateful to these lands for sustaining us and giving us the gift of life. This acknowledgment is a call to action, committing us to understand and respect the history and ongoing struggles of Indigenous peoples. We recognize that words alone are not enough; our actions must reflect our commitment to justice and reconciliation.

Our words have power; through this acknowledgment, we aim to honour life. The resurgence and self-determination of Indigenous peoples inspire us to act with humility and in consideration of the future generations. We look to the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which perpetually teaches mutual understanding of shared land and resources, as a guiding principle in our journey toward reconciliation in Katarokwi and on Turtle Island. We are dedicated to creating an environment where Indigenous students, faculty, and staff feel valued, heard, and supported
