COVID-19: Our Commitment

As our society learns to live with COVID-19, our community’s safety and well-being continues to be McGill University’s utmost priority. We each play an important role in this shared responsibility. We have seen that safely re-opening our physical spaces is possible through a combination of careful institutional measures, always aligned with public health directives, and individual diligence in practicing measures that prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Despite the great uncertainty of these times, the University’s mission is unchanged. As the pandemic continues to evolve, McGill remains committed to supporting our faculty and staff, whether they’re on campus or participating from a distance—and to supporting and engaging our students in the same high-calibre life and learning experience for which our University has become world-renowned.
