Information for Emergencies

It is possible that in the course of your work as a Teaching Assistant or Invigilator that you will encounter a student in distress or in an emergency situation. Despite AGSEM's repeated requests, McGill does not provide adequate training to AGSEM members, especially given the frequency of these events on campus. We recommend that you become aware of the emergency resources on campus in the unfortunate event that such measures become necessary.
