York University spirit can be found in every corner of the campus including the classroom. On Nov. 14, York University Professors were invited to encourage their students to wear Red & White or York gear to class for a group photograph. Class photos were then submitted to Red & White day organizers for a chance to win coffee service for the entire class.
