Our Opportunity
York University’s brand differentiation strategy and promise is “Positive Change.” We have utilized our research (interviews, surveys and brand study) to understand and express what makes the experience of each campus unique and rewarding in how it delivers on positive change. We have also utilized the research to develop a broad narrative that articulates our multi-campus offering.
York’s Multi-Campus Offering
York University is a network of campuses offering a range of opportunities to immerse yourself in the diverse experiences and perspectives that are shaping our world. Campus facilities offer students, faculty, and the community at large multiple opportunities to engage and benefit from the innovative research and programming in a fluid and flexible manner. Extensive collaboration and mobility between the campuses creates an integrated, dynamic York community.
With three core campuses and a series of satellite locations both within Ontario and abroad, York University is facilitating and creating positive change on a large scale.
Keele Campus Narrative
Keele Campus offers a vibrant and welcoming, large-scale campus experience for over 54,500+ students, as well as faculty, staff, partners and the surrounding community. United by a shared ambition to promote and work towards positive change, our campus provides a unique opportunity to engage with diverse cultures and perspectives. As a thriving community hub, the Keele Campus experience is enhanced by its proximity and access to economic and cultural centres throughout the GTA and surrounding communities.
With ten unique Faculties, a range of purposeful cutting-edge research and innovation opportunities and state-of-the-art academic, arts, technology, and athletic facilities, Keele Campus is a meeting place for a network of micro-communities. This campus offers unparalleled opportunities and experiences to curate your own education, scholarship, personal growth and contribution to positive action.
Glendon Campus Narrative
Located in the dynamic, urban landscape of midtown Toronto, Glendon offers an intimate and welcoming environment on its picturesque, ivy-lined campus. With a focus on bilingual and trilingual programming, Glendon reflects Canada’s cultural diversity while offering a window into the rest of the world. Small classes combined with flexible learning paths provide a uniquely community-driven university experience. Being part of a thriving international network makes Glendon a rewarding experience for those looking for a warm campus environment with large-scale impact.
Through experience, academics, research, and scholarship, Glendon is a champion of the powerful connections that lead to positive change.
Markham Campus Narrative
Markham Campus will embed York University in the heart of one of the most diverse and dynamic urban communities in the province and country. Reflecting the local economy, academic programs and research will revolve around the core themes of technology and entrepreneurship and how they are driving innovation across all areas of knowledge and society.
Challenging the traditions of what a university campus can offer, Markham Campus will act as a unique meeting place for students to interact directly with employers, start-up companies, and community partners from across the region.
Markham Campus’s structure will be designed to facilitate flexible movement and collaboration between practices and Faculties. This fluidity works to promote unexpected connections between the many individuals that access our campus and work together to create positive change.
