This soundwalk will explore the intersection of race, migration and mobility through the analysis of the South African Apartheid and its effects on the McMaster student community. This soundwalk highlights the ways in which institutions similar to McMaster that are rooted in the creation of inclusive, supportive communities fail to recognize intersectional differences between students and their individualistic needs.

Black Excellence at McMaster is a soundwalk that guides listeners through a tour of strong sites across campus where Black culture, resilience, and community thrive. On each site, points of interest mark locations important to Black students—from vibrant events such as the celebratory BSSC cookout and Black History Month basketball games to moments of reflection in serene gardens to celebratory events such as Black Grad. With narrative, background noise, and arrangement, the walk inspires the feeling of belongingness and superiority that defines these locations. This soundwalk is more than a guided tour; it is an audio journey that exalts tradition, joy, and the resilience of community at McMaster University.

Washroom assessment guidelines

McMaster University Student Centre (MUSC), 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4E4, Canada

For the first assignment of multimedia 3C03. I will introduce Basic sanitary facilities, especially restrooms near the student center of MCMASTER. Sometimes no rest for a restroom because some washrooms only have one toilet. So, for this reason, we should know two or three washrooms in an emergency. If in another situation. My project helps people who are a visitor, and it’s his first time go to the student center of MCMASTER but coincidentally or not he wants to go to the washroom. My project will be useful to him. In my project, I will introduce three washrooms and rated on five points, facilities, cleanliness, smell, size of space, privacy. Users can find the right toilet for them through my introduction. The day of the test washroom assessment guidelines is Saturday, just a few people in the student center
