Political Studies in the News - August 10, 2023

The Department of Political Studies is saddened to share that the Hon. Hugh Segal passed away yesterday, August 9th, 2023, at the age of 72.

Hugh was a Peacock Fellow of Political Studies, a friend of our department, a frequent lecturer and visitor to our classrooms, and will be greatly missed. As the School of Policy Studies so eloquently expressed it, Hugh "leaves a lasting legacy of non-partisan leadership in the Policy Studies community at Queen’s, across Canada and beyond."

We offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
