Minister Chambers tours McMaster

Mary Anne Chambers, minister of training, colleges and universities, toured McMaster's campus Tuesday, learning first-hand about some of University's newest developments and collaborative initiatives. Joined by McMaster President Peter George and provost Ken Norrie, the tour began with a stop in the Allen H. Gould Trading Floor in the DeGroote School of Business. The trading floor is a 90-square-metre educational facility that resembles an actual trading floor in a brokerage operation. It features 20 computer workstations and two large digital display boards that provide up-to-the-minute market data.

Community Dispute Resolution Services to assist when conflict arises

As the McMaster community has grown in recent years, so too has the impact of its growth on the surrounding community. Issues related to traffic, parking, and students living off-campus are among the most common that generate concerns for local residents. In an effort to help address such issues, McMaster has retained the services of The Community Dispute Resolution Services of Hamilton (CDRS) to assist when conflict arises. The Office of the Associate Vice-President, Student Affairs has contracted CDRS to provide mediation services for issues arising in the local neighbourhood. Local residents, landlords, students living off campus anyone in the surrounding area can take advantage of the services free of charge to help resolve individual or group conflict.
