Graduating BCom McGill Desautels students are invited to one last night together, surrounded by the alumni community you are about to join.

On Friday, March 27, join us for McGill Desautels Launch, a fun, high-energy cocktail celebration marking your transition from student to alum. This is a night to celebrate how far you have come after years of navigating a rigorous and fast-paced program, and to be in a room with people who lived through the same late nights, group projects, case work, exams, and milestones that only Desautels students share. It is also a chance to toast what comes next before life pulls everyone in different directions. 

You will hear from alumni who were once exactly where you are now. They will share what surprised them after graduation, what they wish they had known sooner, and how staying connected to Desautels helped open doors, create opportunities, and offer support when it mattered most. Through real stories and honest conversations, you will get a clearer sense of what life after Desautels can look like and why this community continues to matter long after you leave the classroom. 

Whether you are staying in Montreal or heading somewhere new, this evening is about leaving with more than a degree. It is a chance to celebrate your class, your friendships, and the shared experience that links you to generations of Desautels graduates around the world. 

What to Expect 

 - A warm send-off from Dean Yolande Chan celebrating your time at Desautels 

 - An alumni keynote and young alumni panel sharing real, unfiltered stories from life after graduation 

 - Insight into how alumni stay connected, support one another, and benefit from the Desautels network 

 - An introduction to alumni resources and opportunities available to you

This is your moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate together before graduation and before everyone heads off in different directions.
