Getting Involved @ McGill for Undergraduates

The most frequent advice our upper-year students offer to the entering class is to get involved. This webinar aims to help students discover what opportunities for learning and development exist beyond the classroom and lecture hall. We designed this webinar to enrich students' university experiences by providing information on the benefits of getting involved and how to take those first steps towards engagement. We'll also tell you about our resources for getting involved and share tips and tools on how to manage your time and better appreciate the value of getting involved. Hosted by Campus Life & Engagement and the Students' Society of McGill University (SSMU).

 

Getting Involved @ McGill for Graduate and Post-Docs

 

University 101

During this webinar series, we explained what McGill's academic year looks like, how McGill's faculties, schools and programs are structured, and reviewed important course registration info. We also provide you with essential resources, tips and tools for you to take advantage of now before your arrival at McGill. 

 

What I Wish I Had Known (Student Panel)

The “What I Wish I Had Known as a First-Year” webinar is an opportunity to learn from upper-year students. You'll hear tips and honest advice they wish they had received when they started at McGill. The webinar features a Question & Answer segment at the end. 

 

Living Off-Campus

Topics for this webinar included services, resources, and communities available to McGill students living off-campus (i.e., not in a McGill Residence). Whether an off-campus first-year, transfer student of any age, native Montrealer who already knows this city, or an exchange student, there was something for everyone in this webinar, and you'll be thankful you had this introduction to living in Montreal as a McGill student. This webinar was hosted by Campus Life & Engagement (Off-Campus and Commuter Student Support) and Student Housing & Hospitality (Off-Campus Housing). WARNING - This recording begins with a sharp screech. Please refrain from using headphones until 0:07.
