Change Makers
What Makes Your Community? McMaster’s Residence Life Office has partnered with The Socrates Project to offer an opportunity to drive positive change in your community (e.g. reducing poverty, increasing community health, and supporting youth). You will be encouraged to ask questions, push boundaries and find common ground while building the skills needed to create awareness and organize support for various community initiatives.
Why Join the Change Makers Living Learning Community?
Living in the Change Makers Living Learning Community, you will have the opportunity to:
- Engage in conversations that foster creativity, curiosity and critical thinking
- Learn about various community organizations and be connected to opportunities for involvement
- Become involved in meaningful ways in the McMaster and Hamilton Community
Each Living Learning Community offers a variety of activities and programs that make up key parts of the residence experience. We strongly encourage residents to take advantage of the many of the unique activities and events offered. Students can participate in as many or as few LLC events as they would like but the more events you participate in the more opportunities you will have to connect with fellow students and other members of the McMaster community.
Programs & Opportunities
Students in the Change Makers community will meet McMaster faculty members and community experts from a variety of disciplines and discuss skill-building practices essential for effective community engagement.
Events for this community include faculty and community expert visits, trending topic panels, skills-based workshops, and service-learning opportunities. Change Makers students will have several opportunities to participate in the academic and social aspects of the university and the surrounding community.
The Change Makers LLC will help residents get connected to McMaster by introducing them to experiences within the campus and Hamilton community. Students will be encouraged to branch out into the community with tours, social events, and volunteer experiences at the university and in the surrounding area.
