Activities Night, which takes place during the first week of school in September and the second week of January, is one of the SSMU’s largest events. At Activities Night, students of all years look to get involved on campus and find new passions and interests. It’s the place where nearly all of the 250+ student groups affiliated with the SSMU, as well as many external groups, gather under one roof!
Activities Night is an excellent opportunity for ISGs to showcase what they do and engage with students interested in joining their group.
This academic year, Activities Night will take place:
When registration to table at Activities Night becomes available, the form will be sent out through the Independent Student Groups Listserv with all the logistics of the event.
For questions about Activities Night, please contact the Vice-President (Student Life) at studentlife@ssmu.ca.
The SSMU Listserv, sent out on a weekly basis, reaches nearly all undergraduate students at McGill. You can submit an event to be promoted on the listserv by visiting the Listserv page.
Share your student group event on the SSMU Campus Calendar! The SSMU Calendar compiles all of the activities on and around campus.
To submit your event, please fill out the following form.
The SSMU hosts an ISGs Listing on the SSMU website that includes all currently registered SSMU ISGs, allowing students interested in getting involved to see what groups are currently active.
The blurb, website/social media links, and contact information come from the information submitted by each ISG in the Student Group Information Form. It’s important that groups complete this form at the beginning of each academic year so that they are included in the listing!
If you have already submitted an updated Student Group Information Form and want to update the information on your listing without resubmitting the entire form, please contact the Communications Coordinator at communications@ssmu.ca with the new blurb and social media links.
If you’d like to put up content on campus screens, visit the following link to see who to contact for each building location.
It’s important to consider these points when you prepare a promotional campaign for an event:
Not currently available as the University Centre is closed for construction.
ISGs that want to advertise in the University Centre are able to do so through postering, so long as the posters are approved by the SSMU before being placed in the building. If your poster does not bear an approval stamp from the SSMU, the poster will be taken down.
You cannot hang posters for any commercial group external to McGill in the University Centre, including a commercial group that may be sponsoring your ISG.
SSMU ISGs wanting to poster in other buildings will need to follow the rules and regulations set out by each individual building. Please contact the building directly. Check out the McGill website for all on-campus postering.
ISGs cannot place flyers or posters on property owned by the City of Montreal, including telephone poles and street signs. Postering on city property could result in fines or legal action being taken against your ISG!
Check out our postering pamphlet for more locations and detailed info!
If you are a SSMU ISG you are allotted subsidized hours for kiosk and table reservations.
Please note that this is independent from your subsidized room booking hours. If you have reached your hours for the week, tables and the kiosk can be reserved at an hourly cost with a 50% discount.
Check out our tabling pamphlet for more details!
We do our best to ensure the site is as up to date as possible, but new developments in ISG processes may take time to go live. Please take note that the information listed above may not reflect the most recent changes.
