Queen’s renames School of Graduate Studies, increases support for postdoctoral fellows

Queen’s University has announced a new name for its School of Graduate Studies: the School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (SGSPA). The new name aims to raise awareness of postdoctoral fellows and their role at the university and in the community. Queen’s has also created a new full-time staff position dedicated to supporting postdoctoral fellows by coordinating resources, welcoming fellows, providing orientation, and connecting them with the Queen’s community. “The school’s new name acknowledges [postdoctoral fellows’] vital contributions, represents greater inclusivity, and signals our recommitment to attracting top talent and nurturing excellence across our university community,” said Queen’s Principal Patrick Deane.
