Principal Munroe-Blum also hosted an evening cocktail reception on February 6 in India which brought over 40 McGill alumni, parents and friends together in New Delhi to hear the latest updates from the university. After hearing about the principal’s visit in a local newspaper, three future McGill students also attended – we hope to see them here soon!
