Canada is positioning itself as a more compelling destination for global capital, and Sebastien Betermier, Associate Professor of Finance at McGill Desautels, says the shift reflects both necessity and opportunity.

As OnlyFans enters a new era under owner Yekaterina “Katie” Chudnovsky, professor Emmanuelle Vaast says much about the platform’s direction remains unclear. With Chudnovsky remaining largely out of the public eye, questions remain about how the company may evolve.

This year, we are proud to celebrate Oliver Abrams BCom'26, as Management valedictorian for the Class of 2026. Reflecting on his time at Desautels, Oliver found that the people around him played a defining role in his experience.

For Abrams, McGill was more than academics; it was a community that broadened his perspective and grounded him throughout his studies. “My peers have shown me what’s possible, my professors have shown me new ways of thinking, and my family has kept me grounded,” he said. In moments of uncertainty, their support remained constant.

Google has announced that it has overhauled its search engine to be entirely powered by its Gemini 3.5 Flash artificial intelligence model. Users will no longer be prompted to choose their search mode; instead, the search box will operate more like a conversation, with the option for users to ask follow-up questions. The changes are set to take effect on Tuesday, May 26, 2026. 

McGill experts are available to discuss this topic. 

McGill has been awarded $18.1 million in federal funding to support 16 new and renewed Canada Research Chairs. These appointments recognize leading scholars whose work advances discovery across disciplines, from fundamental science to pressing societal challenges. The program highlights McGill’s commitment to world-class research and long-term innovation with real-world impact.
