York International is inviting students, faculty, staff and members of the community to its Virtual Spring Party on May 15. In order to include those currently living and studying abroad, the celebrations will take place on Zoom at both 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Eastern Time.
To show that the University community will always find ways to grow and thrive, even during uncertain times, York International will celebrate the achievements of students finishing the winter semester and welcome incoming international students in an online format.
In place of a physical event, the Virtual Spring Party will serve as a showcase of the enthusiasm, spirit and energy York has to offer, and will acknowledge and congratulate York students for things they have done during the COVID-19 pandemic, whether they are on the front lines, giving back to their community or helping to flatten the curve by staying home.
The party will feature performances from York students and alumni, a dance lesson from Athletics and Recreation, fun activities for attendees to get know each other, and more. Party-goers are encouraged to dress up and set their space up to match the celebratory mood.
Those interested in performing or submitting a video of a performance to be screened at the event are encouraged to contact Marierose Talla at rtalla@yorku.ca and Kelly Chen at chkelly@yorku.ca.
Updates regarding the event and information on how to attend can be found on the event website.
