A new honour for John Meisel

Every day, hundreds of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s students, faculty, and staff pass through the black, wrought iron gate located between Dunning Hall and Richardson Hall.

Long a landmark of the university campus, the gate has never had a name 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ at least until now.

On Monday, April 15, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s dedicated the gate to one of the university카지노 게임 컬렉션™s all-time great professors 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ John Meisel. During a ceremony at Richardson Hall Principal and Vice-Chancellor Daniel Woolf and Dean of Arts and Science Barbara Crow unveiled a plaque honouring Professor Emeritus Meisel, who first arrived at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s in 1949 and would go on to become one of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션™s most influential political scientists.

카지노 게임 컬렉션œThe courtyard, bordered by Richardson, Dunning, and Mackintosh-Corry halls, has long been one of my favourite places on campus, and over the years the gate itself has acted as a symbolic entrance to the social sciences here at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Principal Woolf says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œI can카지노 게임 컬렉션™t think of a more suitable tribute to Professor Meisel than to name the gate in his honour for all he has done for Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s, the Faculty of Arts and Science, and the Department of Political Studies.카지노 게임 컬렉션

A pioneer in research into political behaviour Professor Meisel also wrote widely on Canadian elections, political parties, Quebec politics, science policy, and cultural policy. He was the founding editor of two prestigious academic journals, the Canadian Journal of Political Science and the International Political Science Review. From 1980 to 1983 he was chair of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and later served as president of the Royal Society of Canada.

His contributions to Canada were recognized in 1989, when he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada, and again in 1999, when he was promoted to Companion, the highest grade in the Order.

In 2017, Professor Meisel was recognized by the Department of Political Studies with the establishment of the John Meisel Lecture Series. Each lecture addresses a timely political controversy and is followed by a town hall-style discussion that is open to both the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s and Kingston community.
