On May 10, 1996, Dr. Stuart Hutchison was just 100 metres from the top of Everest when he turned back. Within hours, eight climbers would die. Bestsellers (Into Thin Air) have debated that deadly day, yet few have heard from the lone Canadian on the climb. McGill grad Hutchison, MD'86, talks to the Ottawa Citizen about climbing, summit fever and morality on the mountainside.
McGill University Principal and Vice-Chancellor Heather Munroe-Blum has welcomed Premier Jean Charest's pledge to address the critical underfunding of post-secondary education.
McGill University's dedicated AIDS researchers and specialists are proud to be attending and presenting at the XVI International AIDS Conference in Toronto, August 13-18.
Dr. Mark Wainberg writes that HIV/AIDS kills 5,000 people each day -- a body count far higher than the number of individuals who have died in recent military conflicts anywhere in the world, and also higher than the number of deaths attributable to any natural disaster in recent memory. Yet HIV/AIDS no longer receives the attention it once did. (Wainberg will co-chair the AIDS conference in Toronto beginning August 13.)
McGill University sources are available for interviews on the current Israel/Lebanon conflict and its broader implications for the region and beyond.
Funding, families, finances and flexibility. These are just a few of the things McGill's 6,000 graduate students must consider as they help drive the research that is vital to the University's continued success.

C'est un sport de grâce, de synchronisme, de coordination, sans oublier bien sûr les heures d'entraînement intense. Pour les bûcheronnes et bûcherons de McGill, il n'est pas question de vivredans l'ombre des équipes sportives mieux connues.
The courses may be miniature, but the crowds attending sure aren't. Mini lectures in Medicine, Law and Music offer the Montreal community a glimpse of what goes on at McGill, and have created a buzz that is anything but small.
Measures of success.
