Role of the faculty planners:
The Social Sciences Faculty Welcome Week Planners act as a liaison between the McMaster Social Science Society, the Social Science faculty, the McMaster Student Union and many other university groups in order to bring Welcome Week to life! They lead Blu Cru in welcoming the incoming class and plan the programming for the Social Science faculty during Welcome Week.  

What we hope to achieve:
As a team we work hard to maintain the spirit and cohesion amongst the Social Science students through the promotion and facilitation of Welcome Week and all other McMaster Social Science Society events throughout the academic year. Blu Cru hopes to foster a positive environment where students feel included, comfortable, seen and heard!

Welcome Week Representatives

Our Welcome Week Reps aren’t just reps, they’re members of Blu Cru; it is a full year commitment, and are not limited to bringing the fun and energy during Welcome Week! Blu Cru is a Welcome Week Representative team operated by Peripheral members of the MSSS. The team is comprised of approximately 120+ upper year students, whose goal is to help transition the incoming class! They dedicate their love and joy to bringing first years and students in the Social Sciences the best undergraduate years of their life. Blu Cru members are the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the bees knees, the cherry on top. Blu Cru members help out with our events, whether they help plan or run it. They are always around supporting Soc Sci! If having tons of fun at Soc Sci events sounds like your kind of thing, why not join?! Apply to be a Welcome Week Rep for next September!
