Your First Lecture – McLaughlin College

Get a head start on your university journey with Your First Lecture, an experience designed exclusively for incoming first-year students in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies. Join us on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for an interactive session that gives you the opportunity to experience a university lecture before classes begin, helping you build confidence, develop essential academic skills, and ease your transition to university.

Choose from a Business and Numeracy or Liberal Arts focused session, each tailored to the learning approaches and skills needed for success in your program. You’ll also learn about campus resources, connect with fellow students, meet the First Year Experience (FYE) and Peer Support Teams, and gain practical strategies to help you feel prepared and ready to begin your first year at York University.
