2nd annual McGill 24

Dear colleagues,

As McGill24 approaches, I urge you to reflect on what makes you proud to be part of our departmental family. Whether it is our research programs, the learning opportunities we provide, or the opportunity we enjoy to shape tomorrow’s leaders and change-makers, there is much to be proud of here at the Department of Psychiatry.

Last year, our first-ever day of giving, McGill24—the largest of its kind in Canadian university history—saw thousands of alumni, faculty and staff unite to raise nearly $800,000 in 24 hours. The success of McGill24 was an immense source of pride for all of McGill, not only because of the outstanding participation of our community but also because of the doors gifts such as these open for our students.

This year, our department would like you to get involved.  We are specifically looking for your support to help us with one of the following initiatives:

·         Improving quality of care;

·         Departmental retreat; and

·         Training the next generation.

You can give us this opportunity. Please consider a gift to the Department of Psychiatry.  Your contribution will inspire others to give, and to be proud of their role in helping build on McGill’s reputation for excellence.

I myself am making a gift. We are hoping for 100% participation this year, and no amount is too small.

Donate online now to the Department of Psychiatry.

If you have any questions, please contact me or communications [dot] psychiatry [at] mcgill [dot] ca.

Best wishes,

Gustavo
