Macdonald Campus Send-Offs for Incoming Students

Change is exciting, but it can also be intimidating. Starting studies at McGill marks a major new chapter in many people’s lives. The McGill Alumni Association holds Send-Offs each summer online and  in cities around the world to welcome incoming students and help them learn a bit about what to expect before leaving home.

Get ready. Get excited. Go!
