Registration for Community Engagement Day has begun!

  Community Engagement Day is a new project from the SEDE Office that aims to celebrate and promote existing initiatives that connect McGill with the Montreal community, while building new relationships.  

  On Friday October 5th, about 20 group activities will take place on campus and around the city to give McGill students, staff, faculty and alumni the opportunity to contribute their time and learn about the social issues that community organizations address. Activities include public discussions, community walking tours, urban gardening, youth mentorship, and more.

  For more information, please see our website at CEDMcGill.com, where you can read about and register for activities taking place on October 5th, watch fun and informative videos, and find links to other community engagement-related resources.

  You can also follow us on Twitter @CEDMcGill or find us on Facebook at facebook.com/McGillCED.

Hey guys!

  I hope you all had a great beginning of the week/were able to get through Discover McGill!

I just wanted to remind you all that McGill STREET FEST is going on tomorrow on McTavish Street from about 16:00 to 19:30 (according to the Orientation Week website: http://orientation.ssmu.mcgill.ca/orientation/events.php).

We're hoping to get a table so stop by and I promise you a BIIIG smile! its also a really great way to find out about some of the great clubs and services that McGill has to offer (and you'll probably end up getting a bunch of freebies too!)

  Also, if you're looking for something to do, there are some academic-y workshops offered by the first year office - I remember a few of them being quite useful for when we all have to start hitting the books! (check it out here: http://www.mcgill.ca/firstyear/undergrad-students/week/acadexp/downtown)

  Hasta pronto!
