Stong CollegeStong College's banner was created in 1971 by the former president of the Canadian Group of Painters, Aba Bayefsky. The work (102 cm x 33 cm) is silk screen.The abstract manner of the work departs somewhat from his usual style of representational rendering. During 1944/45 Bayefsky was an official war artist. His drawings from those years often featuring concentration camps and their victims continues to have an impact on visitors to the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.

Our Vision: Ever since its inception, Stong College has steadfastly and enthusiastically upheld its commitment to the very best ideals of multiculturalism, sport and athletics, literacy, cultural studies, and above all, social commitment.

We believe that pluralism and eclecticism are essential features of a good liberal education. We are interested in the many groups who make up the Canadian mosaic, and their attempts at self-expression, whether in language and literary discourse, visual arts, music, or sports.

We are proud of our heritage and our origins, and of our connection to the Stong family who pioneered the land that York University now occupies. The strength of our community is based on our diversity, and our belief that body, mind, and soul must all be fully engaged in any worthwhile human activity.

We are proud to house the Canada-Maghreb Centre, and the Samuel J. Zacks Art Gallery. Our writer in residence is Hédi Bouraoui.
