The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is a law that requires Ontario to make its public spaces accessible - including our websites and documents.
The MarComm team spends time making sure that documents and website updates are accessible. Want to learn more about accessibility - including digital accessibility?
Have an event coming up? We can help spread the word! Send us an image (the less words the better) for promotion. Just a heads-up -- please avoid QR codes, as they're not ideal for digital sharing. Send the information to both educcomm@queensu.ca and educationnewsletter@queensu.ca to make sure it gets promoted in our newsletter and on our event calendar website.
Let us know if you would also like your event to be promoted:
- On social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky)
- On the central events calendar
- In some other way
Want a headshot? Have an event you would like photographed? Are you looking for a specific kind of image for a document? educcomm@queensu.ca can help. We are limited in staffing, and can't guarantee our ability to take photos at all events.
Have a story you want to tell? Send an email and we can help you figure out the best way to communicate your story. educcomm@queensu.ca.
We have a limited amount of swag available. We can also help you order your own swag - and make sure it meets branding standards. Email educcomm@queensu.ca.
Communication Channels
We have four major communication channels at the Faculty of Education. If you aren't sure how to get your message out, email educcomm@queensu.ca for help.
Welcome to 1997! While our ListServ technology isn't up-to-date, it works to send out basic emails to large and defined groups of people. We use it as an internal communication tool - with many different lists for different faculty, instructor, student, and staff groups. We try to limit most communications to our weekly newsletter and avoid using the listservs.
- Want to send out a message? Talk to Erin – erin.york@queensu.ca
- Need to update people a staff or faculty-focused listserv? Talk to Clint clint.giroux@queensu.ca.
- Having an issue with the listserv system? edhelp@queensu.ca

The Faculty of Education has an Event Calendar webpage that shows upcoming events at the Faculty of Education.
The event calendar is a part of our website template and is not perfect. We are hoping to get access to a new platform as part of the central services initiative around Marketing Cloud but do not have a date for when that might happen at the moment.
Contact educcomm@queensu.ca if you have an event you would like to add to the event calendar.
Our monthly-ish podcast audience is teachers (and teacher candidates) in the classroom. We try to provide a quick 20-30 minute podcast about an idea, project, or research that is happening that might be helpful!
Have an idea? Email erin.york@queensu.ca
We have a large collection of online resources that you can contribute to! Email educcomm@queensu.ca
The Knowledge Forum is a space for faculty, alumni, and students to share their research, ideas, and knowledge. From innovative new research to classroom experiences - join the discussion as our community reflects on our work teaching and learning. The publication is put out virtually and in print copy.
Have an idea for a Knowledge Forum issue, mail to:rebecca.carnevale@queensu.ca
