News and Updates

6 March 2012: Lunch with Chair Candidate - Dr. Gilles Paradis

EBOSS is organizing a lunch with the next Chair Candidate, Dr. Gilles Paradis. Just to remind you, we asked the Chair Selection Committee if the students could have an opportunity to meet with each candidate in a "town hall meeting" format to ask any questions we might have for the candidate. We have compiled a list of questions based on your responses to the survey we conducted last semester, but students are also free to ask any questions that may come up at the time of the meeting.

On Tuesday, March 6, Dr. Paradis will be delivering a seminar for the department from 11:00-12:00 pm in Purvis Room 25. Then, from 12:00-1:00, he will meet with students in Purvis Room 24 for a pizza lunch. Please RSVP to jacqueline.cohen@mail.mcgill.ca if you want to take part in the pizza lunch.
