Step into the ever-evolving world of the Internet—where reality blurs between a show and a podcast! For this special club takeover, we welcomed Iulia Rus, Assistant Director of the DAN School of Drama and Music’s Winter 2025 Major Love and Information, along with Charlie Hensel, who plays “Z” in the production. Recorded in the cozy CFRC studio, our conversation delves into the creative process behind this unique show, currently running at the Studio Theatre in the Isabel Bader Centre from March 5–16. Join us as we go behind the scenes, exploring the stories of the dedicated drama students bringing Love and Information to life at Theological Hall!

Coming up in this special Queen’s Club Takeover of CFRC’s Campus Beat airwaves, we’re chatting with folks from the group Let’s Get Revved Up. The Let’s Get Revved Up club was formed in 2023 with the mission of raising funds and awareness for the Revved Up program. Revved Up is a not-for-profit organization at Queen’s that supports physical activity opportunities for individuals living with physical and developmental disabilities. In light of recent and ongoing budget cuts to the program, the team’s ultimate goal is to work towards improving the functioning of Revved Up. They are also running a big event on March 22nd to support their club’s initiatives. Here with us in this episode to chat about Let’s Get Revved Up are the club’s co-chairs Amy Anderson and Erin Moskovic. The full broadcast version of this episode also contained a great playlist of songs curated by Revved Up participants but are not included in this podcast due to copyright. Thank you for joining us!

Hello and welcome to another episode of Campus Beat! In this installment, we’re thrilled to sit down with Queen’s University Rector Niki Boytchuk-Hale, along with this year’s Agnes Benidickson Tricolour Award winners: Hannah Burrows, Ore Maxwell, and Zaid Kasim.

The Agnes Benidickson Tricolour Award (ABTA)—named in honor of Dr. Agnes Benidickson, Queen’s University Chancellor from 1980 to 1996—is the highest honor a Queen’s student can receive. It recognizes exceptional leadership, character, community impact, and distinguished service during their time at Queen’s. Induction into the Tricolour Society is a testament to the profound contributions these individuals have made to the university and its culture.

Queen’s Rector Niki Boytchuk-Hale, herself a Tricolour Award recipient last year, has announced that this year’s Tricolour Awards and Induction Gala will take place on April 4th. As always, CFRC will proudly broadcast the event live from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. To learn more about the awards, register for the ceremony, or explore the legacy of the Tricolour Society, visit queensu.ca/alumni or the Office of the Rector’s website at queensu.ca/rector.

Join us as we dive into a conversation with Rector Niki Boytchuk-Hale and this year’s award winners to discuss their incredible achievements, their impact on Queen’s University life, and what this honor means to them. Tune in for an inspiring episode you won’t want to miss!

In this special edition of Campus Beat, we’re pleased to welcome members of the Queen’s Royal Canadian Moon Patrol Team, a design team of multidisciplinary engineering students at Queen’s University getting ready to compete in NASA’s 2025 Human Exploration Rover Challenge in Huntville, Alabama this spring. We chatted with team members about their group and its formation, the competition and the work each are doing individually and together as a team to be ready for Alabama. We get many insights about the collaborative work engineering students undertake on campus where they can mobilize their own expertise while developing new skillsets as well. We also learn more about what the future holds for this group, and ways listeners can support their endeavour. We hope you enjoy the episode.
