New Students

Welcome to McGill!

Are you looking for a summer or part-time job? Wondering about internship or volunteering opportunities? Interested in getting involved on-campus?

While a “career” may seem a long way off right now, we encourage you to begin exploring and “test-driving” potential ideas sooner rather than later. Come pay us a visit at some point during your first year to find out more; we look forward to meeting you!
