It’s nearly Welcome Week, and there will be endless events and people around you to show you what Mac is all about. But when you’re done with the faculty-themed chants and $10 breakfasts at Commons, consider the following about the university you’re about to spend the next few years at.
Take a stroll behind the David Braley Athletic Centre and look at the 6,000-seat Ron Joyce Stadium. Wander beyond Les Prince Hall and check out the Back Ten fields. Stop by the Burridge Gym and stand at centre court with the big maroon M in the middle.

He may be a graduate of McMaster’s multimedia program, but Jason Wellings’ education on the links is the one paying the greatest dividends at the moment. The six-year veteran of the Marauder golf program put his club swinging prowess on display last week, posting a final-round score of 69 to lock up a win at the Toronto Star Amateur Tournament.
Despite hitting cleanly off the tee throughout the event, Wellings’ victory was far from certain as the final round kicked off, with the Flamborough native sitting at five-under after Thursday’s proceedings.

For the swarm of journalists surrounding the World Cup, every minor event is a storyline waiting to happen, an emerging trend to be trumpeted from the rooftops.
First, we were treated to a frenzy of Cinderella hype when the host South Africans managed to draw their first game against Mexico, making qualification to the second round a suddenly realistic goal.

The McMaster women’s volleyball team’s quest for continued success was given a substantial boost with the recent announcement that one of Manitoba’s brightest young prospects has committed to joining the program in the fall.
The player in question is Camilla Thorne-Tjomsland, a 6’1’’ middle hitter who has been a fixture in the Manitoban U18 squad for the past two years.

This past month, Volleyball Canada held its annual selection camp to determine the composition of this year’s edition of the national squad. The event, which was hosted in Gatineau, Quebec from May 9 to 14, boasted a field of 44, representing the best volleyballers that this country has to offer.
Included in this group were Jeremy Groenveld, Tyler Santoni, and Josh Lichty, three stars of the current McMaster team, which finished the 2009-2010 season as OUA semifinalists. Unfortunately for the decorated Marauders, they would not find a place among the final selections of coach Glenn Hoag. Instead, Coach Hoag and the national administration opted decidedly for experience and continuity in their 2010 squad choices.
