A new year's message from President Rhonda Lenton

The following is a message to the York University community from President and Vice-Chancellor Rhonda L. Lenton:

I am delighted to welcome you to the 2020 Winter Term here at York University.

York University President and Vice-Chancellor Rhonda L. Lenton

2019 was a busy year filled with challenges and accomplishments, and as a community, we have much to look back on and celebrate. York University combines our commitment to access, connectedness and excellence to create a positive impact in the local and global communities we serve, and I know we will continue to do extraordinary things in 2020.

Whether you are participating in our innovative experiential learning opportunities, helping to create new community partnerships, advancing the University’s research and creative activities, or contributing to our community in myriad other ways, I hope you have a rewarding semester.

As part of our community, I invite you to take advantage of the many activities and services we have for you on campus. Whether you are a new or returning student, a faculty member, or part of our administrative staff, our community has a variety of experiences and resources available to make the most of your York experience.

Let me know what you are looking forward to most this year at #YorkU on social media by tweeting me or tagging me on Twitter or Instagram @YorkUPresident.

On behalf of all of us here at York, I want to wish you once again the very best in 2020, and I look forward to seeing you on campus.
