Send-Offs for Incoming Students

Change is exciting, but it can also be nerve-wracking! Beginning your studies at McGill marks the start of a new chapter. To help during this time of transition, the McGill Alumni Association holds Send-Offs each summer in cities around the world, offering a chance for incoming students to connect with McGill students, alumni, and parents and to learn more about what to expect before the school year starts. Send-Offs are an excellent way to build your McGill network, ask burning questions, and get excited for life on campus and in Montreal!

Alumni and parent volunteers needed! Interested in sharing your McGill experience with incoming students and their families at a Send-Off event? Please send an email.

Get ready. Get excited. Go!

Our Send-Off team is excited to start announcing our upcoming regional Send-Off events.

We update this list regularly, so please keep checking back to see which cities have been added. Full schedule will be provided soon.
