Welcome to the Queen’s University International Centre’s Blog!

The Queen’s University International Centre (QUIC) is a support service for all members of the Queen’s community and through its activities promotes an internationally informed and cross-culturally sensitive learning environment.

At QUIC, we pride ourselves with being innovative and creative. We assist in building community among students and with our colleagues at Queen’s. We also engage in research, professional development and training activities with the broader community of international educators across Canada and around the world.

This blog is meant for students and staff who want to share their experiences here on Queen’s Campus as well as abroad. We provide a space for students to share their experiences and insights on intercultural perspectives, student travelling and volunteering, and also keep you updated on QUIC events!

Our lounge provides a comfortable setting for relaxation, reading, conversation, and meeting people from other countries. Come and visit us! We’re located on the first floor of the John Deutsch University Centre at the corner of Union Street and University Avenue in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Our office hours are 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.

If you have any questions or concerns about the International Centre or the services and programs we offer, contact us. Information contact can be found at: http://quic.queensu.ca/contact.asp.

For all those interested in experiences abroad, for exchange students currently on Queen’s campus or looking to join us in the future, for staff willing to share their insights on intercultural understanding and for all those who are friends of the International Centre, welcome to the newest program of the QUIC: our blog.

We hope to add a new dimension to our interaction with the international community comprised of students and staff, and we look forward to keeping you updated on our events!
