There are times when you feel many factors that can lead to a lack of motivation, be it personal stress, pressure, being overwhelmed, or simply exhaustion. As a graduate student myself, I found one of the biggest challenges lies in my ability to effectively and efficiently manage my time.  </p> Mon, 15 Jan 2024 17:37:43 +0000 Sihan Wang 1655 at /arts /arts/article/students-guide-mclennan-redpath-library-move <p>As a student, I am aware that the ongoing McLennan library move has left a lot of Arts students questioning the effects it will have on borrowing books, study spaces and printing. While there are of course other libraries such as the Schulich Library, or the Nahum Gelber Law Library, the McLennan-Redpath Library has been the main source of information for students throughout their academic careers at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ.</p> Mon, 15 Jan 2024 22:07:30 +0000 Kimberley Lord 1657 at /arts /arts/article/my-experience-volunteering-sexual-assault-centre-mcgill-student-society <p>A sense of community is often one of the main factors in student's decisions when picking a university. I remember asking myself, where do I want to live for the next four years? What environment will foster my development as an individual? Moreover, is ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ home to smaller communities that fit my interests and aspirations.  </p> Thu, 16 Nov 2023 19:37:33 +0000 Kimberley Lord 1525 at /arts /arts/sis-arts-degree-grad-studies <p>The study of Information is a complex, interdisciplinary area concerned with the collection and organization of different types of information, how society and individuals relate to information. Within ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s School of Information Studies, students are encouraged to find better ways to organize, access, disseminate, use, and preserve information and recorded knowledge.

We see it in the movies, read about it in our favourite books, hear our parents reminiscing on their wild adventures back in college. It’s a fleeting four years that we carry on with us throughout adulthood, as we develop our careers and eventually grow old. Why are these years so special, though?</p> Fri, 01 Sep 2023 19:03:23 +0000 Chantay Alexander 1121 at /arts /arts/article/theatre-and-sustainability-mcgill-look-moyse-hall-theatre <p>At the heart of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s downtown campus, sits Moyse Hall Theatre, a 306 seat proscenium arch theatre, where students across ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s disciplines and faculties take part in two theatre productions during the academic year. The theatre space also serves as the performance space for the Savoy Society, Arts Undergraduate Theatre Society, MOSAICA, touring children’s theatre companies, and local dance schools doing their recitals, making it an important hub of cultural and artistic expression in the city of Montreal.  </p> Fri, 01 Sep 2023 19:03:23 +0000 Andria Caputo 1116 at /arts /arts/article/interning-poetry-matters-natasha-kinne <p>My name is Natasha Kinne, and I am a U3 student pursuing an Honours BA in English literature with a minor in French language and history.

The holidays present the perfect opportunity for ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s Arts students to sink their teeth into their favourite forms of media – whether that be literature, podcasts, movies, music, or more. I wanted to take some time to review some notable pieces of art & media consumed this break by ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s student body.</p> Fri, 01 Sep 2023 19:03:23 +0000 Chantay Alexander 1095 at /arts
