What is Alt-FrosT? Can I join?
OPIRG Kingston collaborates with groups on and off Queen’s campus to create our annual event series, Alt-Frosh – and Alt-Frost in the winter! We connect people who are interested in and passionate about social and environmental justice with one another. Whether you’re a first year, upper year, grad student, or never intend to enrol at Queen’s, all are welcome to check out an event or two (or all!)
Alt-Frosh/Frost brings together folks challenging racism, colonialism, queerphobia, transphobia, patriarchy, and all forms of oppression to introduce new and returning students to our local activist communities.
