More than 200 University staff and faculty gathered in the Harry W. Arthurs Common at the Keele Campus on Aug. 23 for the Celebrating YU: Fall Term Kick-off Ice Cream Social.
The Celebrating YU social presented an informal, fun opportunity for President and Vice-Chancellor Rhonda Lenton, senior leadership, faculty and staff to mix and mingle with each other while enjoying frozen treats, games and prizes. The stormy skies that marked the days leading up to the ice cream social cleared, and the sun shone, affording many Keele Campus community members the chance to gather in person, which for some was the first opportunity to see their colleagues since the start of the pandemic.
Glendon community members enjoyed Une célébration de York: lancement du trimestre d’automne – événement crème glacée event on Aug. 22. The Glendon social took place in the East Quad on the Glendon Campus.
