Getting to Know YU is a reach-ahead program designed to support high school students who are thinking about a university as a potential pathway after high school. The program gives grade 9 and 10 students from participating schools exposure to a variety of academic and recreational activities at York University through remote engagements to get them to consider university as a future pathway.
Participants of the program will:
- Be paired with a current York University peer-mentor
- Explore learning opportunities beyond high school
- Invited to engage in and attend student-life events (i.e. Varsity games, social clubs, etc) at York University
- Become aware of how to prepare and apply for university
- Learn about the many career paths available to them with a university degree
- Gain awareness about the Advanced Credit Experience (ACE)
Imagine yourself as York University student!
