MacMSA Presents: Frosh Week 2011!!! - MacInsiders - Student-run McMaster University Help Forum

08-24-2011 at 10:47 AM

For the past 4-5 years, the McMaster Muslim Students' Association (MacMSA for short) has hosted it's own Welcome Week in order to welcome Muslim students and accustom them to University life. For the past two years, MacMSA has worked closely with the First Year Experience Office (FYEO) to advertise the event across campus.

In general, MacMSA's frosh week events are designed to give those students who are interested in learning more about McMaster and McMaster's Muslim Students' Association the opportunity to become familiar with the MSA. The MSA encourages all first-years, and even upper years, who are interested in learning more about the MSA to come and check out the events. All McMaster students are more than welcome!
