Various graduates discuss the people who had lasting influence on their lives. Not surprisingly, many of them cited their McMaster professors.

Premier Dalton McGuinty, Samantha Nutt '94, executive director of War Child Canada, and Milena Head '98, associate dean of the DeGroote School of Business, are among those interviewed.

The magazine also features an article on McMaster's involvement in the growing field of astrobiology and a tribute to the 25th anniversary of the Arts & Science program, along with popular sections such as University News and Alumni Album.

Rick D. Hackett, a professor in the DeGroote School of Business, introduces a new section, The Last Word, with his thought-provoking column, “Good citizenship is a choice.”

Additional copies of the magazine are available from the Office of Public Relations, Chester New Hall, Room 111, or by calling Jean Burrows at ext. 23662.
