About Us
The Sociology Students’ Association (SSA) is an association under the Arts Undergraduate Society that represents all students pursuing sociology as a Minor, Major, Honours, or Joint Honours at McGill University. We are:

A liaison between students and the department,

A resource for students wishing to know more about sociology at McGill,

A committee looking to increase intra-departmental spirit and friendships among sociology undergraduate students.
The SSA’s fundamental aim is to help sociology students make the most of their degree by hosting various events and providing a variety of resources.
