The IRCM student association, called the ASSO, recently held its annual meeting and appointed its new committee for the year 2020-2021.
Despite pandemic circumstances limiting possibilities for gatherings, new president Ashley Chin has plenty of plans. “ In fact, we are all only distanced by the click of a few buttons!” she said with optimism. “In order to broaden our scientific horizon and our careers, as we’re strengthening our relationships among members of the IRCM, we hope to organize both scientific and social events throughout the year, while respecting public health guidelines. Since everyone is already online, we hope to leverage the current digital environment to bring in unique speakers to further increase our knowledge.”
The ASSO is a gathering place that promotes the social, cultural and educational development of IRCM students. It is the ideal place for students to discuss their common reality, the difficulties they face and the opportunities to improve their learning conditions. The IRCM supports the ASSO through the association’s events and through student scholarships.

- President: Ashley Chin
- Vice-president: Thomas Brown
