3.1 So long, farewell
With my time at McGill up, and with wiser hindsight, I could not have imagined spending my senior year better than serving as your IRSAM President. Some of you will be off doing exciting new things, others will be continuing the legacy spanning over 50 years, and IRSAM veterans can rest assured that our organization is in good hands as we pass the reins on. It’s been real.
