We recognize that many Indigenous Nations have longstanding relationships with the territories upon which York University campuses are located that precede the establishment of York University. York University acknowledges its presence on the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations. The area known as Tkaronto has been care taken by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Huron-Wendat. It is now home to many First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities. We acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.

Rapid Antigen Testing Program
York University has offered a free testing program to community members on both campuses. Rapid antigen testing allows the University to proactively identify cases of COVID-19 that may have otherwise been missed, helping to reduce the spread of the virus while supporting community health and safety.  To make rapid testing even easier and more convenient for the York community, we are pleased to announce that York is launching an at-home rapid antigen testing program.  More info on where to pickup a kit click here<https://www.yorku.ca/bettertogether/rapid-testing/>.

UniVenture Program
The program is designed to deliver specialized workshops to help first and second-year students learn and develop useful skills for managing challenging situations in the transition to university (e.g., academic struggles, emotional distress, substance-related harms), set long-term goals, and channel their unique personality toward achieving those goals. In order to participate, eligible students are invited to complete a brief survey: https://redcap.its.dal.ca/surveys/?s=YH9HDPEL7NLRMYJL

For more information about the program and compensation available to eligible students, please review the attached brochure, or contact: Matthew Keough at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
