As your School Dean, join me in an exciting journey along the path to excellence at York College. Remember the following words and thoughts to guide your journey . Begin. Discover. Achieve. "The beginning is the most important part of the work" (Plato). "We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities (Ralph Waldo Emerson). "We are still masters of our fate, we are still captains of our souls" (Winston Churchill). As you explore the School's major and minor areas of study, you'll find academic programs of excellence that are current, vibrant, exciting and diverse.
