Ready to try mindfulness or want to expand your existing practice? Mac Mindfulness invites you to participate in a 4-week mindfulness program to help you develop a more grounded perspective on your work and personal life experiences. These sessions are guided by Koru, an evidence-based mindfulness curriculum designed originally for university-aged adults that is now being widely used across campuses and in communities.
3 Part Planning for Retirement Course
McMaster University has partnered with the Credit Counselling Society (CCS) to offer a 3-part online retirement planning course aimed at helping pre-retirement employees obtain and maintain financial stability in their upcoming retirement.
McMaster Earth Day Tree Planting
The McMaster Centre for Climate Change in collaboration with Nature at McMaster, the Academic Sustainability Programs Office, and Trees for Hamilton, have worked together to create a Carbon Sink Forest. This forest sequesters carbon through planting trees which helps to mitigate climate change.
