During his visit, Mr. Fahrenholz met with Steven Liss, Vice-Principal (Research), Kathy O’Brien, Associate Vice-Principal (International), Cynthia Fekken, Associate Vice-Principal (Research) and Hugh Horton, Interim Vice-Dean, Faculty of Arts and Science, toured a chemistry lab at Chernoff Hall and hosted a reading by German author Marc Degens for members of the Queen’s and Kingston communities.
The Consul General was joined by Alexandra Gerstner, director, German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst – DAAD), who made a presentation to graduate coordinators and faculty members focused on DAAD research programs and funding opportunities.
