Engineering Society of Queen's University

  • CA QUA01586
  • Entidad colectiva
  • 1897-

Formed in 1897, the Engineering Society of Queen's University is one of the oldest representative bodies for engineering students in Canada. With 2400 members on campus, 15,000 active alumni living throughout the world, and an annual budget of $1.2 million, EngSoc oversees some forty-five student-run initiatives ranging from design projects to services to fun social events.

Each of these groups operates as a real-world business. The students learn everything from business plans to fund-raising, from menu planning to decoration. These ventures develop many “soft skills” such as how to work in multidisciplinary groups and make business decisions in the real world. It is through these initiatives that students are taught to care for people and for the environment, and to act in ways that are healthy and sustainable. By exposing our members to social, environmental, diversity, and development issues through the various clubs, groups, and corporations affiliated with the Society, we help produce engineers that are more prepared for the global community.

Faculty Players

  • 1921-1974

The Faculty Players made their debut performance with Anatole France's "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife" in February 1921. They adopted their constitution on 21 April 1921, with a membership limited to academic and administrative staff of Queen's University and their families. In September 1953, the Players' executive passed a motion to include Royal Military College faculty and staff as eligible for membership. Dwindling membership led to the dissolution of the club in May 1974, some ten years after the production of their final play. The remaining assets were used to endow the Dr. William Angus Award, with the remainder donated to the Domino Theatre building fund.

Queen's University Librarians and Archivists Association

  • CA QUA01592
  • Entidad colectiva
  • n.d.

Queen’s University Librarians’ and Archivists' Association (QULA) was originally formed in 1965 as the “Professional Librarians’ Association of Queen’s” or PLAQ. The objectives of the Association were described in its constitution as being “concerned with professional ethics and job responsibility, the professional development of its members, the status of librarians within the University, [and] the welfare of librarians as employees.”

In 1973 the constitution was re-written to exclude members of the Administrative staff group, and the group began to investigate the possibility of unionization. In 1977, a sub-committee of the Queen’s University Faculty Association began negotiating with PLAQ. As a result QUFA amended its constitution to include librarians in its membership. In 1984 a formal Memorandum of Agreement with QUFA was concluded.

The name of the association was changed in 1990 to “Queen’s University Librarian’s Association” or “QULA”.

From 1982, when the archives at Queen’s became a separate administrative unit, the archivists had been recognized as part of the Association membership. However, it was in 1997, that the name was officially changed to the “Queen’s University Librarians and Archivists” or “QULA”.
