VP Academic announces Canada150@York projects
Vice-President Academic and Provost Rhonda Lenton announces the results of a call for applications for funding of Canada 150 @ York projects:
Dear colleagues:
Earlier this year, President Shoukri and I issued a call for applications for funding for projects to contribute to the celebration here at York of Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017. The call invited faculty, staff and students to submit proposals for innovative projects – conferences, workshops, symposia, installations, cultural events, and so on – that would explore Canada’s past and look to its future, while highlighting York University and Canada 150 themes relating to the environment, diversity and inclusivity, Indigenous people, and youth.
