Our main goal with the broadening of Frosh Week is to ensure that all students are feeling properly welcomed and get a very good idea of what Queen’s is all about. After speaking to many students about this issue, we’ve realized that there are plenty of students who do not feel that it currently does that. That being said, there are many students who do, in fact, enjoy Frosh Week. The point here is that there is a need for more alternatives so that all students have something that they feel comfortable doing during Frosh Week. We plan to have many paid feedback forums with first year students regarding potential alternatives. In terms of working with SOARB, we plan to report all of our findings regarding what is enjoyed, what is not, and what some systemic issues may be. The difference between SOARB and what we plan to do with Frosh Week, is that we plan on getting direct student input and creating new events to meet these needs, while SOARB looks more at creating policies to address the systemic issues.
RWS: How will you work with SOARB to broaden Frosh Week? How will your broadening of Frosh Week differ from what SOARB already does?
