Dear students, faculty, course instructors and staff, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to a new academic year at 快播视频!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you join this community for the first time or as you return to your classrooms, offices and our shared spaces, I hope you are inspired, as I have been for my 23 years at this remarkable institution, by York's continued forward progress, guided by our values and vision as a welcoming and inclusive place committed to access, excellence, connectedness and impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Glendon Dining Hall to the Indigenous bench, from the Markham Campus atrium to the Lions Stadium at Keele, so many special places on our campuses tell a story of connection, innovation and shared humanity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the last time I\u2019ll welcome you to York as your president, and as I reflect on my time here, I wanted to highlight some of my favourite spots to share a meal, find some peace and gather together with community members in the hopes that you will also take a moment to reflect on what makes York so special to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm regards, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhonda Lenton 
President & Vice-Chancellor <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
