Black Excellence at York University Welcome Event

Join us for the Black Excellence at York University Welcome Event as we celebrate and welcome incoming Black students to the York community.

This year’s theme, Built for Greatness, challenges the idea that success requires becoming someone new. Instead, success is about recognizing and developing the strengths that already exist within you—your talent, resilience, and potential.

Throughout the evening, you’ll hear from a distinguished York University alum who will share their personal journey and insights during the keynote address. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn from current students during a panel discussion, where they’ll offer honest perspectives on navigating university, building community, and defining success on their own terms.

Whether you’re just beginning your York journey or looking to connect with peers and mentors, this event is an opportunity to be inspired, build connections, and celebrate the greatness you already possess.
