With more than 270,000 York University grads living around the world and achieving incredible things in almost every field of endeavor, you are York's most important ambassadors. Your passion for York and its continued development is necessary in building our future—and as we prepare for new opportunities to arrive at our doorstep, it is your support that we will need most.

This year's Town Hall meeting on Sept. 16 brought together members from across York's diverse community of students, alumni, staff, faculty and friends to engage in a conversation about the proposed new York University campus in York Region and our Yes to York campaign in support of this initiative.

Below is a brief recap of my presentation at this year's Town Hall. Please take a moment to watch the video and discover how York plans to serve the broader needs of our community in the coming years.

More information can be found in this Sept. 17 yFile article. I also invite you to share your questions and feedback by contacting me via email at president@yorku.ca.

Today, York University truly is leading the way. With your support, there are no limits to what we can achieve together.

Sincerely,

Mamdouh Shoukri
President & Vice-Chancellor
York University
