Why we do it
As the International Relations Students’ Association of McGill, our mission is:
To offer a neutral forum for university students to express their interest in international affairs, and in the United Nations and its goals specifically;
To educate and develop an awareness of the United Nations in the local, national, and international communities;
To provide its members with the opportunity to contribute to international development in a positive way through participation in activities organized and/or accredited by the corporation.
Thereby we, the members of the International Relations Students’ Association of McGill, will strive to achieve these goals of our non-profit organization to the best of our abilities.
