Explore McGill: a day for Quebec high school students to explore McGill University
Branches invites Quebec high school students to attend Explore McGill. Discover university life and learning through a fun and inspiring day. Take part in educational workshops at McGill faculties, tour the downtown campus, and have lunch on the beautiful McGill campus. Explore McGill allows us to introduce students to higher education and all options available to them in a safe, fun and understanding environment.
