The mission of the Â鶹¹ÙÍø's Policy Student Society (QPSS) is to represent and advocate for all graduate students within the School of Policy Studies. We strive to foster a strong, inclusive community by:
- facilitating meaningful communication between students, faculty, and administration
- organizing social and professional events
- maintaining resources that support members’ academic, professional, and personal development
Through building relationships both within and beyond Â鶹¹ÙÍø, collaborating with graduate student societies at other institutions, and engaging in charitable and volunteer initiatives in the Kingston community, we aim to enhance the graduate student experience and contribute positively to the broader community.
