Resource Hub: The One-Stop Hub for All Your Academic and Wellness Needs
What is the Resource Hub?
On behalf of the MSU Macademics team, we’d like to introduce our one-stop hub for academic and wellness resources on campus. Initially launched in October 2017, our team has since updated the hub with changes to resources available on campus and added a diverse array of new resources accessible to students. We are excited to share with you the new and improved Resource Hub — no stressful site surfing necessary! Created by students for students. Take a look at the Table of Contents to guide your search, and access the links to find the specific support you need. Macademics strives to help undergraduate students succeed in their academic and professional endeavours and this is just one of the ways we hope to support you.
What can I find inside the Resource Hub?
The Resource Hub contains a wide variety of academic and wellness resources aimed to provide ease to your academic and professional journey at McMaster. There are links to academic and wellness resources relevant to all students, such as the undergraduate calendar, student success center, and student wellness center, as well as resources specific to each faculty, such as tutoring services, academic advising, and links to each respective society.
Where can I find the Resource Hub?
You can find the Resource Hub on the MSU Macademics Website at https://msumcmaster.ca/service/macademics/ or view it directly at https://issuu.com/msu_mcmaster/docs/macademics_resource_hub_final_2019
Can I find resources for my accessibility needs?
Of course! The Resource Hub has an accessibility section adhering to all your accessibility requirements. You can find peer support services through the link to Maccess and can also find a link to student accessibility services (SAS) and access any accommodations you may require. Faculty-specific services are also provided under the individual faculty sections.
Can I find resources to help me find job and volunteer opportunities?
Absolutely! Within the Resource Hub is a jobs and volunteer opportunities section where you can find links to jobs within the MSU, on OscarPlus and at McMaster itself! Each faculty section is also equipped with its respective career and co-op services to help guide you to professionals ready to help you on your journey. There are also links to professional development, experiential learning and internship opportunities within each faculty.
I am an International Student. What about me?
The Resource Hub also has links to International Student Services under General Resources to provide you with all your needs to help you adjust here at McMaster, along with many other services throughout the rest of the sections!
What about any health or wellness resources?
We kept those in mind as well! Within the wellness section, there are links to the Student Wellness Centre (SWC), Student Health Education Centre, and Women Gender Equity Network (WGEN), all here to help you with your health and wellness needs! There are also links to health and wellness resources within each faculty!
