York University President & Vice-Chancellor Mamdouh Shoukri is welcoming back students for another academic year a little differently than usual. This year, the president is providing an update through a new video on issues and initiatives that affect the entire York community:
In the high-definition video, also available on the Office of the President website and York's YouTube channel, Shoukri discusses several transformative projects that are currently underway at York, including new and enhanced buildings at the Keele and Glendon campuses and the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension at Keele. He also notes the great strides York is making in research and highlights some recent award recognition it has received.
Other topics include safety, sustainability, fundraising and the University's White Paper process. See the video here.
Beyond this video, the president has made a commitment to enhancing his communication and engagement with students directly. To that end, the president will be available to meet with individual students by appointment during established office hours. A student can request a 10-minute meeting this fall at these times:
- Sept. 20, from 2:30 to 3:30pm
- Oct. 25, from 3 to 4pm
- Nov. 22, from 3 to 4pm
