Members/Volunteers
TISED offers many volunteering opportunities for student volunteerism. If you are a student McGill, in any Faculty, at the graduate or undergraduate level, you can develop your skills and enhance your own experience while increasing your employability (i.e. add us to your CV!). Below is a partial list of activities that benefit from student time and energy but we'd like to hear from you about the other ways that you'd like to contribute!
Total E&P Distinguished Visitor Speaker Series
Made possible through a generous donation by Total E&P Canada, one of our most high-profile activities is a distinguished visiting speaker series that is open to academics, students, the public, government representatives and McGill’s industry partners. These prestigious and well-publicized events are tailored to attract experts in our thematic areas. The insights these speakers share and the discussions they generate will help to advance new sustainability initiatives and position McGill as a leader in this field. We'll keep you updated on our next planned speaker!
Governance
TISED will involve many stakeholders in its governance - in consultative and advisory roles as well as management, governance, and direction-setting. More information on our boards, committees, working groups, and volunteer opportunities is forthcoming.
