A number of Queen’s faculty earned prestigious awards throughout 2014, including a record number being elected to the Royal Society of Canada.

Royal Society of Canada record

A total of nine Queen’s University faculty members were elected to the Royal Society of Canada, the highest number in one year for the university.

The nine newest fellows from Queen’s brought a wide range of research interests including health, environmental issues, history, bullying prevention and chemistry.
