The ASHS office wants to acknowledge the accomplished First Nations, Inuit and Métis men and women graduates of Health Sciences at McMaster. If you are Aboriginal or a non-Aboriginal ally with a Health Science degree or diploma we want you to be part of our Alumni Circle. As a member of the circle you will:

• receive updates on events/ speakers/ funding opportunities;
• stay linked with your graduating class;
• establish and expand professional networks;
• have an opportunity to mentor current and incoming students.

If you are an alumnus of McMaster and have not signed up for the circle please contact our Communications & Liaison Officer, Stephanie Morningstar, to reconnect with theh ASHS office and your fellow Alumni!

 

We encourage our alumni to join us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
