The McMaster Students Union group distributed free exam care packages today in the McMaster University Student Centre. The packages include information about the SCSN, living off-campus, the Student Walk Home Attendant Team, bus information from the Alternative Commuting and Transportation office and information about the Hamilton community. The package also includes a small box filled with exam stress busters, such as coffee, water, chocolate and Tylenol. The McMaster Alumni Association donated the boxes.

Cameal Sinclair, director of SCSN, and a third-year kinesiology student, worked at the booth this morning handing out the packages as well as Christmas cards, for off-campus students to distribute to their neighbours.

“The intent of the SCSN is to create a more positive atmosphere in the community,” she says, “and strengthen ties between students and their neighbours.”
