The oldest building on campus is getting a well-deserved makeover. The nearly sixty year old McNally building was named in honour of the Archbishop John T. McNally who supervised the construction of the building over a three year span from 1949 to 1952.  The building is built on land that was once the estate of a famous 19th century Haligonian merchant Enos Collins.

If you weren’t able to come out and enjoy last week’s events, you have no idea what you were missing. The SMUSA organization put together a spectacular week with a wide variety of guests and interactive games.

Frosh week had a great cap off with Damian the hypnotist having a huge attendance of over 1000 people. The show was well organized by SMUSA and sponsored by Vitamin water, who offered free refreshments for the entire audience. It took 20 minutes longer than expected for the students to be seated because of the large amount of people that came, and extra chairs had to be provided.
