I was drawn to Coach Mark's holistic approach to sport, which prioritizes not just athletic performance but also personal growth and leadership. I appreciate how each athlete is supported individually while still being part of a collaborative team culture." - Madison McDermott

"I chose Queen’s because of its strong commerce program and reputation for competitiveness both within athletics and academics." - Matthew George

"I chose Queen's because it is an excellent school both athletically and academically." - Carson Francis
