Last week, York University Provost and Vice-President Academic Lisa Philipps welcomed a distinguished delegation of high school administrators from China, including Andy Truong, Executive Director of AKD International and proud YorkU Alumnus, LIU Yan, Principal of High School Attached to Renmin University of China, Sky Jiang, Principal of Beijing Concord School, Christina Wang, Vice President of Shengtao Research Institute.
Helen Chua Balderama, Sanchit Mittal, Xi (Cecilia) Cheng, Recep Demir, PhD and Samantha Yan from York University also attended the event. The group had an intimate discussion on shared priorities supporting student success.
Today, York's global community includes 3,000 students from China who are currently pursuing their degrees at York, and more than 5,500 of our alumni who live and work in China. Our conversations celebrated York's strong and lasting relationship with China, and we're grateful that our partners continue to encourage their students to study at York. Our various partnerships focus on enhancing student employability outcomes by equipping our students with globally portable skills and credentials, allowing them to contribute to their communities in meaningful ways.
