A grid of five images showing scenes from McMaster in 2024 - 5 happy students at Homecoming, a beautifully dressed student being hooded at Black Grad; two students carrying a large plant at the plant parade; A researcher in protective goggles and gloves holding something up in a lab; and two people in lab coats looking at a large test tube full of clear liquid.
As we close the books on 2024, here’s a video capturing some of the incredible highlights of the past year.

What do the total solar eclipse, the greenhouse plant parade, convocation ceremonies, Welcome Week, Entrepreneurship Week and the McMaster Ice Cream Social have in common?

The answer is simpler than you think: It’s you, the people who make our campus and communities come alive.

Thank you for yet another incredible year of gathering, learning, celebrating, working hard, driving change and creating a better, brighter world. We hope you enjoy the video. (Click here if it doesn’t autoplay, above.)

We can’t wait for what 2025 brings. And we look forward to experiencing it with you.
