The Residence Society is welcoming back alumni by offering them tours of their old dorms. Current students will be encouraged to open up their rooms so some alumni can revisit the location of their all nighters.
If you are lucky, the student has converted your old room into a dance club. Check out the YouTube video -- one Queen's student really did that. — Blackout on YouTube / Via youtu.be

Start your Homecoming with a bang! (Or at least a large SPLAT!)
On Friday afternoon (Oct. 13), Queen’s Engineers Without Borders puts the “raise” in charity fundraiser when they will use a crane to drop a giant pumpkin on the field behind Grant Hall.
Last year the engineers dropped a massive 1,400-pound pumpkin that nearly destroyed a Queen’s Alumni Relations camera. (See above.)
In 2015, no cameras were harmed during the smash, just one 500-pound pumpkin. (See below.) — Queen's Alumni on Facebook / Via Facebook: queensualumni

Bagpipes on the Queen's campus are like squirrels -- they are every where.
Make sure you enjoy the sounds of Scotland on Homecoming weekend. You can usually find a herd of bagpipers on Saturday morning (Oct. 14) in front of Grant Hall as the Queen's Bands gather to march over to Richardson Stadium. — Queen's Alumni Facebook / Via Facebook: queensualumni
