Information Session for Public Policy Applicants

Tuesday, July 28, 2026 at 2:00 PM until 3:00 PMEastern Daylight Time UTC -04:00

Interested in applying for the 2027 cohort of McCall MacBain Scholars?

At this one-hour information session, you'll hear more about the scholarship and the Master of Public Policy (MPP) program at McGill's Max Bell School of Public Policy.

The MPP program is designed for participants who have been working for a few years after receiving their undergraduate degree. It combines insights regarding the theory of public policy with the many practical aspects that make the analysis, design, communication, and implementation of public policy so complex. The program also has an emphasis on developing the skills and perspectives essential for creating future leaders in the policy process, whether in government, business, or non-governmental organizations.

Speakers

Julia Lo, Director, Outreach & Communications, McCall MacBain Scholarships
