UPDATES FROM THE GSA

There is so much to celebrate this week! International Women and Girls in Science Day is a reminder to celebrate the many women who have led us to be the graduate students we are today, as well as the many women after us which we will commit to removing barriers and creating the spaces for women and girls to be free, thrive and lead.

Remember that Monday is Family Day, a holiday that is observed here in Ontario, therefore McMaster campus will be closed and no classes should be scheduled online. We hope you enjoy the long weekend.

McMaster University Student and Experience Survey launched! Sent to all students by email – please share your experiences to help us enhance student-facing programs and services. Contact Equity and Inclusion Office (linked to @EIOMcMaster) equity@mcmaster.ca for questions. Link to the tweet from EIO page or on Facebook.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH AT MAC

BLACK HISTORY MONTH AT MAC

At the GSA, we are celebrating our Black graduate students on campus once again this February.

We would like to highlight an amazing initiative by students on campus, McMaster Black Student Mentorship Program (BSMP). In this program, you can mentor an upper year undergraduate student who shares your interests and/or goals. At the same time, you’ll be mentored by a Black faculty member. BSMP will give you the opportunity to connect with other Black students, faculty, and alumni!

All students and faculty are welcome to “Safe fieldwork strategies for at-risk individuals, their supervisors and institutions webinar” with Monique Pipkin and Amelia-Juliette Demery hosted by Faculty of Science on Tuesday, March 2nd at 7 to 8:30 p.m. Their safe fieldwork strategies were published last month in Nature Ecology & Evolution.

Register ahead here. Any questions? Please contact Jay Robb, Faculty of Science communications manager.

You can read more about Black History Month (BHM) and the message from McMaster. For regular updates on BHM events at McMaster, visit the BHM Facebook or BHM Twitter or contact Tolulope Ojo at Ojot2@mcmaster.ca for any additional information.”
