how sead started

SEAD at McGill University started in 2016. The founding committee developed and organized all aspects of the program. Tasks included creating its curriculum, finding partners, recruiting a team of student coordinators and faculty leads, preparing the detailed schedule, organizing the day-to-day activities, facilitating feedback and evaluation, and measuring the program’s impact through an innovative research project.

setting up the program, and for sharing several resources that were key in the organization.
