*Equipping Students

We surpassed our campaign goal for the York University Scholarship Fund but more students will need scholarships in the future. Invest in York University's mission to transform lives through Christ-centered education and to equip students for lifelong service to God, family and society.

Spring and Summer Highlights

01 During the inaugural Equip Conference Dr. Garrett Best announced that YU's Bible Department will become the Department of Bible and Ministry. “This may seem like a small change, but this is an important move,” said Best who chairs the department. “We are changing our name to stress that we are here to serve churches and train students for a life of ministry.”

02 Hosts of Songfest '23 Art With No Boundaries were joined by the Celebration Singers and clubs for an exciting finale.

03 Candidates for Mr. and Ms. York University were honored at the All-School Banquet this spring: (1st row) Madison Gookin, Grace Gaer, Emily Eggar, and Maria Geesaman; (2nd row) Jordan Strong, Blayne Winkler, Bryce Winkler, and Elias Dallmann. See pg. 11.
