In these past four years, I have learned that the relationships that I have with my friends, teachers, co-workers and community hold extreme value. It’s within these connections that I learn the best lessons about life, myself and the world. The people I have met and shared memories or knowledge with were the most fulfilling part of any experience I have had.</p> Fri, 01 Sep 2023 19:03:23 +0000 Christina Rajkumar 1119 at /arts Theatre and Sustainability at Æ»¹ûÒùÔº: A Look at Moyse Hall Theatre /arts/article/theatre-and-sustainability-mcgill-look-moyse-hall-theatre <p>At the heart of Æ»¹ûÒùԺ’s downtown campus, sits Moyse Hall Theatre, a 306 seat proscenium arch theatre, where students across Æ»¹ûÒùԺ’s disciplines and faculties take part in two theatre productions during the academic year.
