YEAR IN REVIEW: Bevy of awards for 成人大片 in 2014

A number of Queen鈥檚 faculty earned prestigious awards throughout 2014, including a record number being elected to the Royal Society of Canada.

Recognition came in many forms and at various levels; all of them were exciting for the recipients as well as the Queen鈥檚 community.

The Gazette takes a quick look at some of those awards:
