Program-Specific Support
For program-specific support, please book a Zoom meeting with Prof. Kathryn McPherson, the Director of Undergraduate Studies, by following the instructions outlined in the "Meet with an Academic Advisor" section of this page. First-year students or others who do not yet have York University log-in accounts are invited to to connect with Prof. McPherson via email at dushist@yorku.ca.
If you have any questions about your History courses or your degree program in History, do not hesitate to contact me. I can provide the answers to many questions quickly by email, but I am happy to talk with you over Zoom if you think that would be better.
