Welcome back returning students.

We'd love to reconnect and catch up. Come by.

Anyone is welcome to be part of the BRC community - students, faculty, staff, and broader community.
There is no fee and no formal membership.

To be eligible for emergency bursary assistance, you must meet the Centre's mature student definition, demonstrate financial need, and be registered or in need of funds to register. " Any female student (undergrad, graduate, or professional program) who has been out of school for at least one year, or who has a child." http://banrighcentre.queensu.ca/emergencybursaries.asp

Free (vegetarian) soup is available daily for Centre students. And, students are invited to Two Special Full Lunches in the Fall Term.
The first of these will be on Tuesday September 20th, so mark it in your calendars and make a point to come by for food and to meet
lots of other women whose experiences are in sync with yours. Come any time between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

If you would like to be on our "what's happening?" mailing list, call Karen at 533-2976 or e-mail her at kk9@queensu.ca and she will email to let you know if something special is happening.

Ban Righ Foundation for Continuing University Education: Mission

"It is the mission of the Ban Righ Foundation to support women learning."

The Ban Righ Foundation carries on the tradition of encouraging women's achievements - a tradition begun by the women who came to Queen's University in the 1870's and who built Ban Righ Hall in 1925.

Supporting the continuing formal and informal education of women, especially mature women returning to Queen's University, the Ban Righ Foundation:

Maintains the Ban Righ Centre on campus which is the focus of campus life for mature women students, through which they become part of a community of peers;
Provides advisors and financial assistance;
Brings to the attention of students the many university facilities (intellectual, scholastic, cultural, recreational)
Facilitates the participation of women in campus functions
Advocates on behalf of mature women students
Brings staff, faculty, and students together in an environment which encourages mutuality and equality;
Provides a continuing education program of speakers and visiting scholars open to the broader community; and,
Promotes the university in the community.
