Words of Wisdom 2023

Congratulations! You’re joining an incredible group of over 360,000 changemakers. A group that strives for positive change and to make an impact in their local and global communities. The alumni that you joined as you walked across the stage at convocation have been supporting you every step of the way through your journey at York and will continue to be by your side as you work together to right the future. Many alumni recently submitted Words of Wisdom to share with you as you graduate. These notes are just one of the many ways in which our alumni support you and your success. In addition to these notes, over the last four years more than 5,000 alumni have chosen to support you through donations to York, contributing over $7,000,000 to areas at the university that enhanced your student experience or directly supported you through student financial aid in the form of bursaries, scholarships, and awards.  

Welcome to the alumni community! The following are just some of the many submissions we received when we asked alumni to share their advice for the class of ’23. Please take these words of wisdom and the knowledge that you have this group standing with you as you build your future with York pride.
