Most Memorable York University Experience |
From an athletic perspective, the back to back OUAA Volleyball Championships in 1992-1993. It was a great group of athletes and friends.
From an academic perspective, the camaraderie and openness of the Kinesiology program. It was great to be able to speak with and learn from so many great professors. |
York University Anecdote or Highlight |
Two things stand out. I spent a lot of time at Tait Mackenzie. I have great memories of the building. I met a lot of friends there, and had some great discussions about the health sciences, and life in general. I also loved how accessible the Kinesiology profs were. I probably learned just as much having one on one discussions with them, as I did in their lectures. |
