Connecting in spaces and places

Connecting in spaces and places

This week marked the first time in a long time that we were able to connect as an entire community together on campus.

Here is a look at friendships being rekindled and connections being made in the spaces and places that make up McMaster’s campus.

Great seeing you in person, Marauders!

Returning to campus means seeing familiar faces. Terri, who works at the Tim Hortons in the McMaster University Student Centre (MUSC), is one of the many people in our community working to welcome students back to campus.

The best part of her day? “Seeing all my lovely students first thing in the morning,” she says.
