=== Fall Forums ===
Hosted by the EUS Equity Committee, the Faculty of Engineering and the Mary Brown Fund, the Fall Forum aims to bring up topics of diversity in Engineering at McGill. This event is a great way to meet people interested in making Engineering at McGill more inclusive and connect with different groups on campus, faculty or industry leaders. The Forum allows attendees to discuss issues and work towards solutions to implement. It usually consists of a talk by a speaker and it is followed by discussion from a panel of leaders in the McGill community. Attendees are able to share their experiences, discuss with speakers common problems and potential mechanisms and strategies to deal with them, and form allyships across the spectrum of the engineering community based on improved understanding. During the event, refreshments and food are be provided and the admission is free.
