In just over 3 weeks, we've raised $1400 to support our neighbours Ronald McDonald House Charities South Central Ontario
Please help us reach our goal of $2000 by Dec 2!

RMHC provide accommodation and food for the families of hospitalized children across Canada, giving parents who are far from home, the opportunity to remain close by and in turn saving them sometimes thousands in travel and food costs.

Your donation will help to provide a home away from home for families of seriously ill children receiving care at McMaster Children’s Hospital, right here on campus.

Visit https://bit.ly/3OaL8N1 to donate and help make a massive difference.

Thank you for your support!

In July of this year, over 200 teams across 69 universities participated in the Inter-University Big Data Challenge- A data science competition that invites students to strengthen their problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Congratulations to Srinivasa Sai Bharath - M.Eng. Systems and Technology and Krittika Misra - M.Eng. Design for not only being selected as finalists, but for winning the STEM Fellowship-Most Applicable Solution Award along with a $1000 cash prize!

Over 1800 teams across 106 colleges & universities worldwide are currently managing a simulated tech company as part of GLO-BUS, an 8 week business strategy simulation.

Each week, the top performing companies are ranked by 4 different variables. Congratulations to McMaster University - School of Engineering Practice & Technology BTech students for earning a Global Top 100 ranking in the first two weeks!

With only 35 teams participating from SEPT, this is certainly an achievement! We look forward to seeing their progress over the next few weeks!
