Glendon College is York University’s founding campus. Established in 1966, Glendon continues to play a vital role in upholding Canada’s principles of bilingualism and biculturalism in higher education.
Since fall 2021, Glendon has been engaged in a repositioning exercise. As the first assessment of its kind to happen in decades, Faculties, staff, students, alumni and other community members have been engaged in a thoughtful consultation process.
To ensure that students receive a high-quality education that encompasses cross cultural communication in a plurilingual living and learning environment, the revisioning exercise will establish a new strategic direction for Glendon that aligns with the University Academic Plan.
