Georgette Wong Sak Hoi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

She joined the York University community in 1992 in the French Studies departments, first at Atkinson, then at Glendon College, before joining the Office of Student Programs (now Academic Services). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was a consistent presence in Student Services, helping to guide and assist generations of students throughout their academic journeys and contributing to the daily operations and continuity of campus life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile each member of our community leaves a unique imprint, Georgette\u2019s long tenure stands as a testament to her commitment to the institution,\u201d said Glendon Principal Marco Fiola<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe will be remembered by colleagues who worked alongside her and by those who interacted with her throughout the years.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
