A new on-campus art installation invites the viewer to go on a journey around the world. And the guides for that trip? McMaster’s international and exchange students.  

The students created a series of art pieces, now hanging on the walls of the International and Exchange Student Experience (IESE) space in the McMaster University Student Centre.  

Each piece reflects a student’s background and experiences creating a life for themselves here at Mac, or a combination of the two. 

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 5 as McMaster welcomes our campus community to a memorable and exciting Homecoming! The McMaster Students Union (MSU) and Student Affairs are reintroducing a day of Homecoming events aimed primarily at students as a welcome back to campus.  

“We are excited to collaborate with the McMaster Students Union to host a full day of events dedicated to fostering campus community and connection,” says Sean Van Koughnett, associate vice-president, students and learning, and dean of students. “Bringing Homecoming back to campus after several years is an opportunity to make this event an integral part of the McMaster student experience.” 

What a week! Thanks to thousands of Welcome Week Reps, volunteers, faculty and staff members, the university life of the newest cohort of McMaster students is off to an unforgettable start.

From move-in through air bands, there is no way anyone could’ve been at every single event. So here’s a quick recap in photos from a high-energy week we hope you’ll never forget.
