York’s alumni community at your fingertips
York U alumni enjoy volunteering with their alma mater and as a student, there’s lots you can learn from them: after all, they’ve been exactly where you are now. Whether requesting a speaker for your Student Club, signing up for a T.A.S.T.E. session or attending our Level Up events, there’s many ways to benefit from the advice and perspective of our global community of change-makers.

“[Being an ambassador] was a really great way to explore the aspects of the University that we don’t see in the classroom. From research to alumni, to volunteer opportunities, it was so great to see the ways the University makes an impact in the local and global community.” -2018-2019 President’s Ambassador
T.A.S.T.E.
The T.A.S.T.E. (Talk About Studies To Employment) Mentoring Program provides York students with an opportunity to talk face-to-face with a professional about their career-related interests. The program pairs students with a mentor for an informal meeting where students learn about the mentor's career, industry, and organization.
