Contribute to the McMaster Community by getting involved on an MSU Award Committee!
Each year, the McMaster Students Union honours the contributions of members of the McMaster Community by issuing a variety of awards, including those listed below. The selection committees for each of these awards, which determines who is given the awards each year, currently have seats open for MSU members-at-large. That means
you!
