The Phoenix Newsletter

Get a snapshot of our diverse and dynamic community. Each term, we produce an informative look at everything Founders College – past and upcoming events, faculty and staff news, highlights of student and academic success, program details and updates from student clubs. You'll also hear from the Founders College team, faculty, staff, community members and alumni.

We are always seeking contributions for The Phoenix and are delighted to provide a platform to share the work of our students, alumni, fellows and staff. If you wish to contribute to the next edition of The Phoenix in Fall 2021, please send your contributions to founders@yorku.ca.
