International Women’s Day is a global day that celebrates the political, economic, social, and cultural achievements of women. With this year’s theme of “breaking the bias” we reflect upon the strong female role models we have in what many assume to be male-dominated fields. McGill’s Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education is particularly proud to celebrate their women academics and researchers, including professors from several disciplines including exercise and health psychology, biomechanics and neuroscience, and exercise physiology.

Dear Members of the McGill community,
McGill is home to a vibrant international community, and many of us have roots in countries around the world. Global crises can affect us all.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has been a source of deep preoccupation to many of us. As Principal of our university, I am reminded of the need for – and the potential fragility of – stability and peace in order to pursue higher learning and the advancement of knowledge.
