IRSAM Inc. - The International Relations Students' Association of McGill Information

IRSAM, also known as The International Relations Students' Association of McGill is a federally incorporated not-for-profit corporation with special consultative status with Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC). As an accredited non-governmental organization (NGO), IRSAM is not just the only group at McGill University with this status, but it is also one of the only student-run, university-affiliated organizations in the world run to hold this special consultative status with the United Nations. IRSAM’s mission is to facilitate youth empowerment, leadership, and awareness. We strive to do this by providing students with various platforms to become engaged in discussions of international relations. As McGill University's largest student group, IRSAM encompasses over 280 members, 500 associate staff, and serves over 3,500 people every year, many of them being students. Our membership consists of a diverse group of McGill students from a range of faculties and academic programs.
