Hello and welcome to another episode of Campus Beat! In this installment, we’re thrilled to sit down with Queen’s University Rector Niki Boytchuk-Hale, along with this year’s Agnes Benidickson Tricolour Award winners: Hannah Burrows, Ore Maxwell, and Zaid Kasim.
The Agnes Benidickson Tricolour Award (ABTA)—named in honor of Dr. Agnes Benidickson, Queen’s University Chancellor from 1980 to 1996—is the highest honor a Queen’s student can receive. It recognizes exceptional leadership, character, community impact, and distinguished service during their time at Queen’s. Induction into the Tricolour Society is a testament to the profound contributions these individuals have made to the university and its culture.
Queen’s Rector Niki Boytchuk-Hale, herself a Tricolour Award recipient last year, has announced that this year’s Tricolour Awards and Induction Gala will take place on April 4th. As always, CFRC will proudly broadcast the event live from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. To learn more about the awards, register for the ceremony, or explore the legacy of the Tricolour Society, visit queensu.ca/alumni or the Office of the Rector’s website at queensu.ca/rector.
Join us as we dive into a conversation with Rector Niki Boytchuk-Hale and this year’s award winners to discuss their incredible achievements, their impact on Queen’s University life, and what this honor means to them. Tune in for an inspiring episode you won’t want to miss!
