The Queen's Model Parliament (QMP) is one of Queen's University's longest-running, successful events. The 79th QMP held on January 7 was no different, with over 300 students from all faculties involved. The post-event reception, held January 8 at the Ottawa Marriott, was a unique opportunity for alumni and students to connect, gain insights, and make new friends. By all accounts, the event was great fun and created memorable moments for all. A huge shoutout to Zev Kalin (MBA’91) for brilliantly capturing all the excitement in his amazing photos. We’d love to see you there next year!
