About the C4 Pilot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With only a dream and a team, C4 was launched at York University in Fall 2019. It was led by two experienced capstone teachers, Danielle Robinson (Arts) and Franz Newland (Engineering) and supported by colleagues from across the York campus. Its goal was to revolutionize how students finish off their degrees at York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
