Lecture Title & Synopsis:

“McMaster 2030: The Future of University Education.”


Universities and colleges are exciting places for you to learn more about the world, more about your local communities, and more about yourself. Attending university shouldn’t just prepare you for a job, but also prepare you to be a community member and a global citizen. This will be an exciting step in your own personal life story as you grow and change to become the unique person you are. And universities are changing, too. At McMaster, students are essential partners in creating the university of the future. When we meet at MCYU, we will design McMaster 2030 together!
