Sadie MacDonnell, Faculty of Science 

Sadie MacDonnell was introduced to McGill in July 2023, through SHAD Canada, a non-profit organization that fosters entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership among Canadian high school students. Over the course of the month-long program, MacDonnell fell in love with both the University and Montreal. 

“I knew this was where I wanted to spend the next four years of my life,” she said. “I’m from a small town in Newfoundland, which – don’t get me wrong – I love, but I’ve also loved experiencing the vibrant community here at McGill. Each new experience I’ve had here so far has just reinforced my decision to come to Montreal and to McGill.”
