“All education is a continuous dialogue—questions and answers that pursue every problem on the horizon.” | William Orville Douglas
At any given moment, McGill University’s campuses are a symphony of conversations. A student catches up with a professor in the hallway to clarify a tricky point from the day’s lecture. A coach and her players plan strategy for the weekend’s big game. A farflung group of researchers meet via Skype to discuss surprising lab results. In the words of William Orville Douglas, early environmental advocate and the longest-serving U.S. Supreme Court justice, “All education is a continuous dialogue.”
We invite you to join in the conversation by exploring the Principal’s Report 2011-2012. Learn more about the accomplishments we celebrated and the challenges we faced over the past year by clicking on the links on the left or the photos in the slideshow.
