On Sept. 16, members of the Queen's community, including donors, alumni and supporters gathered to celebrate the grand opening of the Lang Pavilion, one of the top stadiums in Canadian university sport.

"This building is not just about bricks and mortar," said Stu Lang, Sc’74, at the event. It's about preserving our distinguished history and nurturing the sporting dreams of all the student-athletes who will compete here.”

The School of Policy Studies is mourning Senator Hugh Segal, a policy leader who passed away on 09 August 2023 at the age of 72. He leaves a lasting legacy of non-partisan leadership in the Policy Studies community at Queen’s, across Canada and beyond.

Honourable Hugh Segal had a strong and lasting connection with our School of Policy Studies community, and served in multiple leadership roles across in the Faculty of Arts & Sciences and the Queen’s School of Business. Most recently, he served as Chair of the School of Policy Studies External Advisory Board (2019-present), Donald Matthews Fellow in Global Public Policy (2019-present) and Director of the Centre for International and Defence Policy (2022-2023). Hugh has also served as Ivey Fellow and Chair in the School of Policy Studies, and Skelton-Clark Fellow in the Political Studies Department. While retaining his position in Policy Studies at Queen's University, Hugh also joined Queen's School of Business staff as a Professor of Public Policy. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, he was awarded an honorary degree by Queen’s in 2018.

“Senator Segal was an incredibly valuable member of the School of Policy Studies. He took the time to mentor our students and faculty alike, and taught us the importance of rising above politics when designing and implementing policy” says Warren Mabee, Director of the School of Policy Studies. “On a personal note, I benefited tremendously from his wisdom and direction when I assumed the role of Director of the School, and I am eternally grateful for the time he was willing to give us. We extend heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the many Canadians whose lives he has so profoundly impacted.”

The School of Policy Studies will commemorate Hugh Segal’s career and contributions to the School later this year. Details on this event will be shared during the weeks ahead.
