Through the YFS Elections Awareness Campaign, we realized the various inconveniences a candidate must overcome to run in the race. Besides the point that elections are held at one of the most inconvenient times of the year for students (prime winter and academic deadlines); the candidate must also take the responsibility of promoting the idea that an election is actually occurring on campus.

We need accountability from our student union!

In the past, York is U has organized large campus-wide events, such as Terry Fox Run, Red & White Day, York’s Birthday and Multicultural Week, for York University. The purpose of these events is not only to celebrate the various diverse and amazing accolades of York, but also to engage students, through either attending events, volunteering for York is U or even to help organize a specific event in the York community. Through this, many students have had the opportunity to become involved with various aspects of York University that they had previously thought not possible and have come to view York as not only an excellent educational institution, but also as a home away from home.

We are looking for:
1. Signature Events Director

Thank you to all the amazing volunteers who came out and helped run our stations during Red & White Day! We're so greatful to have such an amazing community of volunteers; you are the backbone of our organization!

We have been receiving many questions from volunteers on how to log co-curricular hours/what is YUCONNECT. Our Chair & Membership Director, Sheila, is working on a blog post which will go over the steps involved in submitting hours and highlight a few useful aspects of YUCONNECT. Make sure to log your co-curricular hours in a timely manner, as we will be appreciating our most active volunteers thus far at our upcoming Meet & Greet in October!
