Explore McGill: a day for Quebec high school and CEGEP students to explore McGill University
Branches invites Quebec high school and CEGEP students to attend Explore McGill. Discover university life and learning through a fun and inspiring day. Take part in educational workshops at McGill faculties, tour the downtown campus, and attend an admissions info-session and lunch on the beautiful McGill campus. Explore McGill allows us to introduce students to higher education and all options available to them in a safe, fun and understanding environment.
