The McMaster Engineering Society (MES), one of the largest student groups on campus, supports about 20 groups and serves more than 5,000 undergraduate student members. Students are able to receive funding for various activities such as intramurals, conferences, special projects and more |
The Redsuits at McMaster are student volunteers who promote engineering pride and spirit across campus and in the community. The most important job they have are as student reps during Welcome Week, where they handle all the engineering events and help first years get used to their new home at McMaster. They also participate in just about every MES event through the year, and can be seen handing out crackers during exam time, on buses to pub nights, volunteering at conferences and raising money for charity.
How our alumni show their #FireballFamily pride
Beyond graduation, our students remain connected through a vast network of MacEng alumni that is more than 20,000 members strong. They continue to be committed to the supporting our #FireballFamily by engaging in events, mentorship, and acting as program advisors on our many different committees.
Some words of inspiration from @ikpuri and alumni as our #MacEng students graduate today. Congratulations on this achievement! #MacGrad2018 #FireballFamily pic.twitter.com/dX3cOKZzcT
