HISTORY OF YORK UNIVERSITY
HISTOIRE DE
L’UNIVERSITÉ YORK
York University was founded in March 1959, when its charter
was approved by the legislature of the Province of Ontario,
and enrolled its first class of 76 students in September 1960.
Fondée en mars 1959, date à laquelle le Parlement de
l’Ontario a approuvé sa charte, l’Université York a ouvert sa
première classe avec soixante-dix-sept étudiants en 1960.
York was originally established as an affiliate of the University
of Toronto, but became independent by mutual consent in
October 1965. York University moved from Falconer Hall (on
Queen’s Park Crescent near the Parliament Buildings) to the
Glendon campus in 1961 and each succeeding year has seen
a major advance in growth.
York, qui était au départ affiliée à l’Université de Toronto, a
pris son indépendance par consentement mutuel en Octobre
1965. Elle a quitté Falconer Hall (Queen’s Park Crescent) pour
le campus de Glendon en 1961, et a franchi chaque année
une nouvelle étape décisive.
In 1962, the Joseph E. Atkinson College first offered degree
courses for evening and part-time students. In 1963, the
Faculty of Arts and Science introduced its own distinctive
program of degree studies and the Faculty of Graduate
Studies was established. The University accepted its first
postgraduate students in 1964.
En 1962, le Collège Joseph E. Atkinson a offert aux étudiants à
temps partiel les premiers cours du soir menant à l’obtention
d’un grade. En 1963, la Faculté des arts et des sciences a créé
à son tour des programmes d’études sanctionnés par l’octroi
d’un grade et la Faculté des études supérieures a été fondée.
Les premiers programmes d’études supérieures ont été
offerts en 1964.
The Keele campus, which became the principal seat of the
University, was opened at Keele Street and Steeles Avenue
in 1965. In the following year, Glendon College was officially
opened and the Faculty of Administrative Studies (now the
Schulich School of Business) was established at the Keele
campus.
Devenu depuis le siège principal de l’Université, le campus de
York, au croisement de la rue Keele et de l’avenue Steeles,
a été inauguré en 1965. L’année suivante a vu l’ouverture
officielle du Collège universitaire Glendon et la création de
la Faculté d’administration (maintenant l’École Schulich des
hautes études commerciales) sur le campus de York.
In 1967, the Senate enacted legislation to establish a Faculty
of Fine Arts. In 1968, the Faculty of Environmental Studies
was established and the Osgoode Hall Law School became
the Faculty of Law of the University (under the terms of an
agreement which had been entered into with the Law Society
of Upper Canada in 1965).
En 1967, le Sénat a décidé la création de la Faculté des
beaux-arts. En 1968, la Faculté des études environnementales
a été créée et l’École de droit Osgoode Hall est devenue la
Faculté de droit de l’Université (aux termes d’un accord passé
avec la Société de droit du Haut Canada en 1965).
A Faculty of Science was created in 1969 by separating
biology, chemistry and physics from the Faculty of Arts and
Science, which then became the Faculty of Arts.
In 1971, the Senate approved the establishment of the
Faculty of Education. In 2000, Joseph E. Atkinson College
was renamed the Joseph E. Atkinson Faculty of Liberal
and Professional Studies. In 1990, the Faculty of Science
was renamed the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science
and subsequently, in 2004, became the Faculty of Science
and Engineering. In 2006, the Faculty of Health was
approved which brought together Nursing, Health Policy
and Management, Kinesiology and Health Science, and
Psychology. In 2009, York University continued this tradition
with the launch of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional
Studies, combining the strengths of the Joseph E. Atkinson
Faculty of Liberal and Professional Studies and the Faculty
of Arts. In 2012, York University’s Senate approved the
establishment of a new Faculty, named the Lassonde School
of Engineering. 2015 marked a transformative moment in one
of the University’s charter Faculties when the Faculty of Fine
Arts was renamed the School of the Arts, Media, Performance
and Design.
The non-Faculty colleges appeared annually after 1964:
Founders (1965), Vanier (1966), Winters (1967), McLaughlin
(1968), Stong (1969), Calumet (1970), Norman Bethune
(1971) and New (2009). York University now graduates
approximately 10,000 students annually.
8 / June 2015 Convocation
En 1969, la Faculté des sciences et des arts s’est scindée
en Faculté des sciences, chargée de l’enseignement de la
biologie, de la chimie et de la physique, et en Faculté des
arts.
En 1971, le Sénat a approuvé la création de la Faculté
des sciences de l’éducation. En 2000, le Collège Joseph E.
Atkinson a pris le nom de Faculté des études libérales et
professionnelles Joseph E. Atkinson. En 1990, la Faculté
de sciences a pris le nom de Faculté des sciences pures et
appliquées et par la suite, en 2004 devint la Faculté des
sciences et de l’ingénierie. La faculté de la santé, approuvée
en 2006, regroupe les programmes de soins infirmiers, de
politique et administration de la santé, de kinésiologie et
sciences de la santé et de psychologie. En 2009, l’Université
York a perpétué sa tradition en créant la Faculté des arts
libéraux et études professionnelles qui combine les atouts
de la Faculté des études libérales et professionnelles Joseph
E. Atkinson et de la Faculté des arts. En 2012, le sénat de
l’Université York a approuvé l’établissement d’une nouvelle
faculté, nommée l’École de génie Lassonde. L’année 2015
marque un moment transformateur dans la charte des
facultés de l’Université, puisque la Faculté des beaux-arts a
été renommée l’École des arts, des médias, de l’animation et
du design.
Enfin, les Collèges qui ne sont pas des Facultés ont fait leur
apparition à un rythme annuel après 1964 : Founders (1965),
Vanier (1966), Winters (1967), McLaughlin (1968), Stong
(1969), Calumet (1970), Norman Bethune (1971) et New
(2009). L’Université York décerne des diplômes à environ dix
mille étudiants par an.
THE MACE
The mace, which the University Beadle carries,
was a gift to York University from the
City of Toronto in 1964. Each part of the mace has
symbolic significance for the University.
Rendered in brass, the end section is set with stones of
cullet, bloodstone, agate and amazonite
which represent all ethnic sources of Canada.
The shoulder has 10 projections representing Canada’s
provinces. The four arms at the head
of the mace represent the paths which lead to the
ideals that humans strive to achieve.
The arms support an orb whose shape reflects
the universe and its truths.
The orb is executed in the colours of earth and water:
brown, ochre, blue and green.
LA MASSE D’ARMES
La masse que porte le massier de l’université a été offerte
en 1964 par la ville de Toronto à l’Université York. Chaque
partie de la masse a une signification symbolique pour
l’université. La masse est en laiton et sa partie inférieure est
sertie de pierres taillées : hématite, agate et amazonite,
qui représentent toutes les origines ethniques du Canada.
Les dix projections de la partie supérieure
représentent les dix provinces du Canada. Les
quatre bras, au sommet de la masse, représentent les
sentiers de la connaissance et des idéaux que
s’efforce de suivre l’humanité. Les bras soutiennent une
sphère représentant l’univers et ses vérités.
Le globe a les couleurs de la terre et de l’eau :
le brun, l’ocre, le bleu et le vert.

THE COAT OF ARMS OF YORK UNIVERSITY
The upper half of the shield contains two lions of
the City of York; the lower half contains, on a red background,
the white rose of the Royal House of York. The oak sprig
in the crest represents the Tree of Learning and recognizes
York University’s initial affiliation with the University of Toronto.
The York University colours are crimson and white.
ARMOIRIES DE L’UNIVERSITÉ YORK
La moitié supérieure de l’écu porte les deux lions
de la ville de York; dans la moitié inférieure figure, sur fond rouge,
la rose blanche de la Maison royale de York.
La branche de chêne du timbre, qui représente l’Arbre de la
Connaissance, témoigne de l’affiliation initiale de York
à l’Université de Toronto et du ferme soutien qu’elle en a reçu.
Les couleurs de l’Université York sont le blanc et l’écarlate.

YORK UNIVERSITY
L’UNIVERSITÉ YORK
“A first task of York University will be to use the great traditional
subjects to shed light on the problems of today’s world…No
one in his right mind would today oppose the need for a high
degree of specialization. But to have specialization and nothing
else is to possess but half an education…we shall try to break
down the barriers of specialization, to give to York University
students a sense of the unity of knowledge.”
« La première mission de l’Université York consistera à appliquer
les grandes disciplines traditionnelles pour mieux comprendre
les problèmes actuels...De nos jours, personne sain d’esprit ne
mettrait en doute la nécessité de posséder une spécialisation
de haut niveau. Pourtant, avoir une spécialisation et rien d’autre
ne revient qu’à posséder une demi éducation...c’est pourquoi
nous tenterons d’abolir les barrières de la spécialisation, afin
de donner aux étudiants de l’Université York un sentiment
d’unification des connaissances. »
York’s Founding President Murray Ross, 1960
Murray Ross, président fondateur de l’Université York, 1960
Since its inception in 1959, York University has become worldrenowned for its unique interdisciplinary approach to teaching
and research. An education at York University provides an
interdisciplinary perspective and a modern approach to the
issues facing today’s world. York is where students and faculty
from differing disciplines join together to explore problems to
the fullest possible extent. The result is a dynamic, all-round
perspective that corresponds closely to the world we live in.
York graduates are enabled to develop advanced solutions to
complex problems and benefit from a unique perspective that
is both realistic and optimistic.
More than 55,000 students, including the second-largest
graduate student population in the province, pursue full- and
part-time studies across York’s 11 Faculties. York has three
professional Faculties in business, law and education, plus
other professional programs ranging from engineering to
nursing, social work to urban planning, in addition to a wide

life translates into an environment in which students can
develop a better understanding of our world in order to
change it for the better.
York is a place where you are encouraged to build your own
unique path to success and achieve groundbreaking success.
As a distinguished York graduate, you are joining more than
270,000 York alumni worldwide who “redefine the possible”
and help to shape change in Canada and beyond.
As a member of York’s graduating class of 2015, you will

every success, whatever path you follow.
Depuis sa fondation en 1959, l’Université York s’est faite
connaître mondialement pour son approche interdisciplinaire
unique en matière d’enseignement et de recherche.
Une éducation universitaire fournit une perspective
interdisciplinaire et une méthode contemporaine pour
analyser les enjeux auxquels est confronté le monde
d’aujourd’hui. À l’Université York, étudiants et professeurs
de diverses disciplines se regroupent pour explorer à
fond les problèmes actuels. Il en résulte une perspective
dynamique et exhaustive qui correspond étroitement au
monde dans lequel nous vivons. Les diplômés de York sont
donc en mesure de trouver des solutions avant-gardistes
aux problèmes complexes et bénéficient d’un point de vue

David M. Collenette, Doctor of Laws
David M. Collenette, docteur en droit
Politician, strategic advisor, distinguished fellow
Politicien, conseiller stratégique, éminent associé
One of York University’s most illustrious alumni from Glendon,
David Collenette (BA ’69, MA ’04) was a member of the
Canadian House of Commons for more than 20 years. Serving
under former prime ministers Pierre Trudeau, John Turner
and Jean Chrétien, he was minister of state-multiculturalism,
national defense, veterans affairs, transport and crown
corporations. As such, David Collenette left a deep imprint on
Canada’s history.
Un des plus illustres anciens étudiants du Collège Glendon de
l’Université York, David Collenette (B.A. 1969, M.A. 2004) a
été membre de la Chambre des communes du Canada pendant
plus de 20 ans. Ayant servi sous le règne des anciens premiers
ministres Pierre Trudeau, John Turner et Jean Chrétien, il a été
ministre d’État au Multiculturalisme, de la Défense nationale,
des Anciens Combattants, des Transports et des Sociétés d’État.
M. Collenette a donc profondément marqué l’histoire
du Canada.
Among many of his accomplishments, David Collenette
authored a major policy paper that charted a course for
Canadian transportation policy over a decade, initiated
legislative changes, and oversaw Canada’s response to
the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. As
parliamentary secretary to the House leader during the
constitutional debates of the early 1980s, David Collenette was
assigned to Westminster to represent Canada’s interests.
Since retiring from politics in 2004, David Collenette has
worked as strategic counsel for organizations in public affairs,
transportation and infrastructure, information technology, and
defence and security. He was a distinguished fellow at Glendon
College from 2004 to 2009. He has been a member of the
Glendon School of Public and International Affairs Advisory
Committee since 2007. He is a member of the Toronto East
General Hospital Foundation Board, Director of Harbourfront
Centre and Chair of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and
Transport (North America).
Parmi ses nombreux accomplissements, il a rédigé un
important document de politique qui a tracé la voie pour les
politiques du Canada en matière de transport pendant une
décennie, a instauré des changements législatifs et a supervisé
la réaction du Canada aux attaques terroristes du 11 septembre
aux États-Unis. À titre de secrétaire parlementaire du leader du
gouvernement à la Chambre des communes pendant le débat
constitutionnel du début des années 1980, David Collenette a
été affecté à Westminister pour représenter les intérêts
du Canada.
Depuis qu’il s’est retiré de l’arène politique en 2004, David
Collenette travaille comme conseiller stratégique pour des
organisations en affaires publiques, transport et infrastructure,
technologie de l’information et défense et sécurité. M.
Collenette a été un éminent associé de Glendon de 2004
à 2009. Il est membre du comité consultatif de l’École des
affaires publiques et internationales de Glendon depuis 2007.
De plus, il siège au conseil d’administration de la Fondation de
l’hôpital Toronto East General et du Harbourfront Centre, et est
président du conseil d’administration de L’Institut agréé de la

Congratulations Class of 2015
Congratulations on your graduation and welcome to York University’s alumni community!
As graduates, you are now members of the York University Alumni Association (YUAA), joining a global community of more than
270,000 graduates who enjoy the privileges and perks of alumni membership.
York is truly an interdisciplinary university that looks at life from all angles. Unfettered by convention and traditional expectations,
York’s innovative approach has forged a vibrant institution and our strength in numbers reflects this passionate approach to
education.
As York alumni, you are well prepared to face the opportunities and challenges of an ever-changing world with clarity and vision.
This vision is your strength – both as a class and as individuals – and I urge you to keep in touch and be actively involved as a York
graduate, not just with the University but with one another, so that you can draw on each other’s insights.
Alumni play a vital role in the life of York University. As graduates, the ongoing reputation of the University affects how others value a
York degree, and we can each enhance its value by acting as ambassadors for York’s education and research activities.
You can stay in contact with your classmates and get all the news about upcoming events and services through our Facebook page,
our LinkedIn group, our online newsletter and the Alumni website (yorku.ca/alumni).
You can maintain contacts and make new ones by attending our special events or by volunteering. You can act as a mentor for
current students, get involved with a York alumni group in your hometown or country or help York recruit talented students who
will become the alumni of the future. You can also act as advisers to the University, suggesting new ideas and offering constructive
feedback.
Your achievement is outstanding! You and your fellow graduates are the best ambassadors for York University. Through your
involvement with the York University Alumni Association you will continue to demonstrate that York prepares its graduates to
redefine the possible.
We wish you every success!
Yours truly,
Randy Williamson (LLB ‘88)
Chair, York University Alumni Association Board of Directors

Félicitations à la promotion de 2015
Félicitations à l’occasion de l’obtention de votre diplôme et bienvenue dans la communauté des diplômés de l’Université York!
En tant que diplômé, vous êtes maintenant membre de l’Association des diplômés de l’Université York (ADUY); ainsi, vous joignez les
rangs d’une communauté mondiale de plus de 270 000 diplômés qui bénéficient de la grande diversité d’avantages et de services
qui sont offerts aux anciens étudiants de York.
York est vraiment une université interdisciplinaire qui a une vision sur tous les aspects de la vie. Libre des entraves des conventions et
des attentes traditionnelles, l’Université York est devenue, grâce à son approche novatrice, un établissement dynamique. Notre force,
exprimée en nombres, reflète cette approche passionnée envers l’éducation.
En tant que diplômé de York, vous êtes bien préparé pour saisir les occasions et relever les défis qui se présenteront, et ce, avec une
grande clarté de vision dans un monde en pleine évolution.
Cette vision est votre force, aussi bien collectivement pour l’ensemble de votre promotion que pour les personnes qui la composent.
Ainsi, je vous encourage à garder le contact, non seulement avec nous, mais aussi les uns avec les autres, et de participer aux
activités offertes aux diplômés de York, afin de tirer profit de l’expérience et des connaissances des uns et des autres.
Les diplômés jouent un rôle vital dans la vie de l’Université York. La réputation continue de celle-ci influe sur la valeur que d’autres
attachent à un diplôme de York, et nous pouvons tous rehausser cette valeur en agissant à titre d’ambassadeurs et d’ambassadrices
des activités d’éducation et de recherche de York.
Vous pouvez rester en contact avec vos camarades de classe et vous tenir au courant des événements à venir et des services offerts
aux diplômés sur notre page Facebook, par notre groupe LinkedIn, dans le bulletin électronique et sur du site web Alumni
(yorku.ca/alumni).
En participant à nos activités spéciales ou en offrant vos services en tant que bénévole, vous pourrez non seulement maintenir
le contact avec vos relations actuelles, mais vous en faire de nouvelles. Vous pourrez remplir les fonctions de mentors pour des
étudiants en cours d’études, participer aux activités d’un groupe de diplômés de York dans votre ville ou dans votre pays, ou aider
York à recruter des étudiants talentueux qui deviendront les diplômés de l’avenir. Vous pourrez aussi remplir le rôle de conseiller ou
de conseillère pour l’Université en lui suggérant de nouvelles idées et en offrant une rétroaction constructive.
Votre réussite est remarquable! Vous et les autres diplômés êtes les meilleurs ambassadeurs et ambassadrices de l’Université York.
Grâce à votre participation aux activités de l’Association des diplômés de l’Université York, vous continuerez à démontrer que York
prépare ses diplômés à redéfinir les limites du possible.
Nous vous souhaitons tout le succès possible!
Cordialement.
