Our Mission
The Division of Experimental Medicine is comprised of faculty members with diverse research interests in biomedical sciences and students from a wide variety of cultural and educational backgrounds, creating a uniquely rich social and academic environment. The Experimental Medicine Graduate Students' Society (EMGSS), composed of a Council, the working body of the Society, and its membership, the graduate students and alumni of Experimental Medicine, was formed to promote and defend the rights, welfare and interests of its members, as well as to enhance their educational, social, cultural and environmental conditions.
As a society, the EMGSS organizes the Annual McGill Biomedical Graduate Conference (AMBGC), as well as hosting a variety of academic, social and sporting events.
EMGSS Constitution
As per our Constitution, access to the budget and financial books is available upon request
“History is who we are and why we are the way we are”- David McCullough.
We are living in a time in history where we have to examine the violence several communities have faced throughout their lives. The Experimental Medicine Graduate Students’ Society (EMGSS), as part of McGill University, acknowledges that the land where our Annual McGill Biomedical Graduate Conference (AMBGC) happens, is the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka. The Kanien'kehá:ka Nation is a founding nation of the Haudenosaunee/People of the Longhouse (Iroquois) Confederacy which is also comprised of the Seneca, Tuscarora, Cayuga, Onondaga, and Oneida Nations. EMGSS honours, respects and recognizes these Nations. We encourage everyone to understand the history of this land. For more information visit the McGill Indigenous Initiatives website.
«L'histoire définit qui nous sommes et pourquoi nous sommes comment nous sommes» - David McCullough.
Nous voulons reconnaître que l’Université McGill est située en territoire autochtone, lequel n’a jamais été cédé. Nous reconnaissons la nation Kanien'kehá: ka comme gardienne des terres et des eaux sur lesquelles nous nous réunissons virtuellemement aujourd'hui. Tiohtiá:ke (Montréal) est historiquement connu comme un lieu de rassemblement pour de nombreuses Premières Nations, et aujourd'hui, une population autochtone diversifiée, ainsi que d'autres peuples, y résident. La Nation Kanien'kehá: ka est une nation fondatrice de la Confédération Haudenosaunee / Iroquois qui comprend également les nations Seneca, Tuscarora, Cayuga, Onondaga et Oneida. C’est dans le respect des liens avec le passé, le présent et l'avenir que nous reconnaissons les relations continues entre les peuples autochtones et autres personnes de la communauté montréalaise. Nous encourageons tout participant présent à mieux connaître l'histoire de cette terre. Pour plus d'informations, visitez le site Web des initiatives autochtones de McGill.
