YUBSN Book Club
Our book club is intended to bring our community together to learn about and discuss topics and subjects that matter to us. We do this through our love of reading.
While there are many great authors of every background, we seek to recognize, celebrate, and amplify the voices of Black writers. We recognize the powerful words of Black authors who have provided insight into both the struggles and triumphs of their community, through the power of words and literary imagery.
YUBSN Fitness and Wellness Club
An active and balanced lifestyle can result in a longer healthier life. Join us at noon on Wednesdays for a walk around our campus and find your fit with friends from YUBSN.
Reach out to us at bsn@yorku.ca
