  • Dr. Allie Douglas, Class Note

    1980s

    Stephen Douglas

    – Artsci’84

    Stephen is in the process of writing a book about his great-aunt, Dr. Allie Vibert Douglas (LLD 1975). He’s interested in getting in touch with alumni (especially alumnae) who may have known her, as he would love to receive any memories, stories, or thoughts about Allie and her time at Queen's (1939–1988), either as Dean of Women, professor of Astronomy and/or during her retirement years in Kingston as Emeritus professor. In particular, he’s interested in her role as mentor, guide, and helping hand. Stephen is asking alumni/alumnae to contact him.

  • John Weaver, Class Notes

    1960s

    John Weaver

    – Artsci’69 

    McGill-Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ recently published John’s sixth book, Adam Smith's Islands: New Zealand's Incomparable Restructuring, 1980-1995. It is the first comprehensive inside account of the turning point in global history when numerous states embarked on free-market economic restructuring, led by New Zealand. Through the lens of New Zealand, the book examines larger questions about policy dilemmas, the global flow of capital, and the sustainability of social adjustments in economic restructuring. In so doing, it casts new light on the formation and history of what is casually labelled today as the neoliberal state.

  • 2010s

    Ami Trivedi

    – Artsci’19, MIB’21 

    Ami has launched High Performa, a sales training company focused on helping sales teams close more deals and future-proof their performance. The idea was shaped by her academic foundation and professional journey, and her Queen’s degrees helped her build a skill set that blends strategic thinking, communication and leadership – skills she draws upon daily. She’s also launched a podcast, Ask For It, where she shares sales strategies, mindset shifts and real-world lessons to help sellers and sales leaders elevate their performance. In one episode, she talks about how Queen's played a key role in shaping her perspective and career in sales. She’d love to share her journey with fellow alumni who are building or leading in their own spaces.
