The York University Mature Student Organization at YorkUniversity is a thriving and influential social group for adult learners. Founded in 2004 by Edward Fenner, YUMSO has successfully raised the profile of mature students all over York. YUMSO's main office is at Keele and has a satellite office at Glendon campus. Mature students have much in common with younger students, but also face unique challenges due to age, work, family, and more. Now there is a group for you! There are thousands of adult learners at York and over 600 are signed up to the YUMSO alone. We have a website loaded with handy information all in one place and a Facebook site via the YorkUniversityCanada network for those so inclined. We host events for mature students to get together frequently over coffee, lunches and more. Home base, located in 113B Vanier, is equipped with 2 desktop computers (one with internet access and the other with printer access), hot coffee, tea, a comfortable place to lounge around, and a quite place to study, so drop by – or better yet come volunteer some of your time – in the office to help offer this service to other mature students.
