Last summer I had a lovely experience with one of York's incoming students on YU Connect (If you have not checked out YU Connect yet here is the link!). YU Connect gave me the opportunity to correspond and converse with my new friend Deserey. It was a great experience because she lives abroad and I was able to pass on information to her the whole summer about her transition into University. Once September came, it was amazing because we actually got to meet each other in person! It was awesome to get to know someone on a personal level before even meeting them, and then being able to actually meet them!

Are you looking for a similar opportunity to create community and engage on campus? Just because you might live far away, it doesn't mean you cannot have meaningful interactions throughout the summer! Check out our blogs, twitter, website, and facebook if you want to connect with any of the RED Zone Ambassadors! Or, if you live near campus, come by the RED Zone anytime. Have a friendly conversation with us. Ask us whatever questions you may have. We’ll even help you get set up on YU Connect so you can reach out and meet other York students.
I am looking forward to connecting with all of you very soon! :)
