"We learned a lot from this year's event. Our York community homecoming committee and the Alumni Affairs team are already working towards Homecoming 2000. We want to create a Homecoming tradition for today's students, so they'll return year after year," says Alumni Affairs director André Beaudry.

He attributes this year's success mainly to great participation by all the York community, from alumni to faculties. "The colleges, alumni, chapters and faculties all got behind us," he says. "They did a wonderful job, and we had a rousing York weekend."
