The Student Walk Home Attendant Team (SWHAT) is a volunteer service within the McMaster Students Union that will walk or bus with users during the evening hours, 7 days a week, from September through April.
A walk home with SWHAT includes a team of two walkers. They will not have obvious uniforms, but they will identify themselves to you. As well, all walkers are equipped with a flashlight and a radio to allow communication with the SWHAT office and McMaster Security as required. No matter the weather, our walkers can walk with you to your destination while providing safety and company – we also have umbrellas to help keep you dry!
