McGillians from across the Middle East gathered for McGill’s Third Century Celebration held during Expo 2020 Dubai!

As part of McGill University’s ongoing Bicentennial celebrations, we kicked off the University’s third century in style: a delegation from McGill joined the McGill Alumni Association of the United Arab Emirates (MAA-UAE) for this multi-day Third Century Celebration, complete with a full line-up of exciting events.

McGill’s thought leadership was on display at Expo 2020 Dubai, presented in partnership with the Government of Canada. McGillians reconnected and reflected on the role McGill has played in their lives, as well as the University’s future, all in an uplifting atmosphere of innovation and collaboration.
