Hello Science Volunteers!
 
Thank you for dedicating your time and expertise to the Fall Preview Open House on
Saturday, November 21st from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm (note: all Faculty events end at 3:30 pm). 
 
FYI - to date, 6500 visitors have RSVP'd for the event... so, campus will be busy this weekend. 
 
Please review the following information: 
  • SCIENCE ITINERARY - HERE.  This document includes times and locations for the Level I program info tables/presentations, open labs and facilities.  To clarify, all presentations and program info tables will be in the MDCL Atrium.  Additionally, you can view the entire Fall Preview itinerary HERE.
  • SCIENCE TOURS - Guided tours of the science buildings, facilities and labs will be available throughout the day at both Fall Preview events. The tours will depart from MDCL Atrium, every half hour, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. 
  • LEVEL I SCIENCE PROGRAMS BROCHURE - HERE.  This brochure is the primary handout for the day - it includes an overview of the Faculty of Science, Level I program/course details, Level II Honours program options, and information about the Science Career & Cooperative Education Office.  
Note: Science itineraries, program brochures, and 'swag bags' will be provided at all information tables but they will also be distributed in the MDCL Atrium.   
  • FAQs for Level I programs:
      • Honours Integrated Science I - HERE
      • Medical Radiation Sciences I - HERE
      • Honours Kinesiology I - HERE
      • 'Gateway' Programs (Chemical & Physical Sciences I, Earth & Environmental Sciences I, Life Sciences I, Math & Stats I) - HERE
      • Science Career & Cooperative Education - HERE (info about Co-op, Experiential Education and more).
  • DRESS CODE: There isn't one. If you would like to wear a McMaster golf shirt or a Science T-shirt/baseball style shirt (from OUF past or present), or other McMaster clothing (i.e. Science Society shirts) - please do so.
  • NAME TAGS:  Our office will prepare name tags for all volunteers and they will be available for pick-up at your respective room/lab locations.
  • FOOD: Both the Tim Horton's cafe in MDCL lobby and Caffeine Coffee shop in BSB will be open from 9:00 am - 3:30 pm.
  • PARKING: There is free parking and shuttle bus service available in the lots beyond Cootes Drive and down the hill. See HERE for map.
  • GENERAL INQUIRIES - Any general inquiries can be directed to the white tent opposite University Hall where the buses will be dropping off visitors.  Also, any tricky admissions questions may be directed to Admissions staff located in the MUSC Atrium.  Finally, general campus tours will be leaving from MUSC Atrium.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this information, please contact me.

Thanks again for your willingness to volunteer!

Fall Preview - McMaster Academic Planner (M.A.P.)
 
Hello again Science Volunteers! 
 
Hopefully everyone received the previous Fall Preview email which included the Science Itinerary, handout information, FAQs, and more (see below).

Additionally, I would like to inform you that we have officially launched the McMaster Academic Planner (M.A.P.) for the Faculty of Science - www.mapsci.ca.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with this tool, the M.A.P. is an interactive site for prospective and current Science students that clarifies Gr. 12 admission requirements for the various Level I Science programs, explains the differences between the 'Gateway' and 'Direct-entry' program options, assists with Level I course planning, and showcases upper level program and course options, as well as, provides information about Departments, Schools, and Programs in the Faculty of Science.  The Daily News just featured an article on the M.A.P. - see HERE.  
 
Considering we now hope to use the M.A.P. as a primary recruitment resource, there will be laptops set up near each Level I program info table to access the M.A.P. Therefore, if you are a volunteer working at the program tables in MDCL atrium, it would be ideal if you could familiarize yourself with the M.A.P. in preparation for Saturday.

If you have any questions or concerns about this information, please contact me.

Thanks for your work.
