Nicole Agyei-Odame
Welcome! I’m Nicole, a Recruitment and Academic Advisor for the Faculty of Social Sciences. My role is to help you make a great transition to undergraduate student life in our Faculty. I also help ensure all of our Faculty’s international, Economics I and Health and Society I students have a positive experience.
I’m a McMaster University Honours Sociology graduate (2018). I also recently completed my master’s degree in Immigration and Settlement. Coming to Canada can be a very intimidating process, but I can help you feel at home on campus. I’m here to answer any questions you might have about life in Hamilton, courses or even how to prepare for winter. No question is too small!
When you’re here, you can take part in special events to help you feel part of our community. Some of these events include:
- Personal check-ins
- Level I study groups
- Level II program choice workshops
- Social activities
Are you interested?
What I liked most was the diversity of experiences offered by the many different areas of sociology taught by the department. I was able to tailor my learning to the areas of sociology which were of the most interest to me, while still being confident that the core courses of the program would provide me with the theoretical and practical foundations of the discipline.
By completing a double major in the Faculty of Social Sciences, specifically in Religious Studies and Sociology, my worldview quickly expanded as I began learning about diverse communities, belief systems, theories, and perspectives.
