NEW RECRUITS: Queen's Men's Soccer welcomes Yaathav Lakshman and Queen's Rowing welcomes Sam MacKenzie! ⚽ 🚣 

"I chose Queen's because of the strong balance between academics and athletics, as well as the culture surrounding the soccer program. During my time training and trying out with the team, the players and coaching staff made me feel welcomed. The environment felt like a family, where everyone pushes each other to improve. I also believe the competitive level and pathway at Queen’s will help me continue developing both as a player and as a student." - Yaathav Lakshman
