Welcome to Mac grad students starting in the Fall 2024 term!
Graduate students newly admitted into a program in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (Macdonald Campus) can attend pre-arrival and orientation activities on both campuses. Take advantage of these opportunities to make friends across the two campuses and learn about both Montreal and St. Anne’s!
We are especially looking forward to welcoming you to the Macdonald campus on Monday, August 26! Mac OGS (the Mac Grad Studies Office) and MCGSS (your Mac Campus Graduate Student Society) have organized an Orientation Day with information, exploring, food, and fun. For any questions, please contact gradstudies.macdonald [at] mcgill.ca.
