Welcome to the official page of Vanier College at York University! Here you will find infor
Vanier College, founded in 1967, was the second college to come into existence on the Keele Campus. The College is proudly named after General The Right Honourable Georges P. Vanier, one of the most respected Canadians of the 20th century. The mandated academic areas which Vanier College supports are: Business and Society, Business Economics, Children’s Studies, Classical Studies & Classics, Cultu
re and Expression, Economics, Financial and Business Economics, Hellenic Studies, Humanities, Individualized Studies, Jewish Studies, Liberal Studies, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Social and Political Thought as well as all Undecided Majors in the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies. Vanier College is self-governed in its day-to-day activities by our Master, Stanley Tweyman, the Master’s Office staff and students. Academic support is provided by our Academic Advisor, Maxine Wood, and her team of Peer Advisors. Vanier Residence is managed by the Residence Life Co-ordinator, and a Residence Life Team of Dons, Night Porters, and Programmers, all of whom are upper-year students. Elected by, accountable to and comprised of students, Vanier College Council encourages community engagement through their social/cultural events programming. Affiliate organizations such as Vanier Athletics, the Vandoo, and Existere, provide additional alternative opportunities in sports & recreation, newspaper writing and creative arts & literature composition. Vanier College, like the other colleges, has Fellows who are usually full-time academic faculty, administrative staff or outside affiliates who become members by invitation of the Master. Distinguished researchers, award-winning lecturers, and internationally acclaimed writers are a few examples of Vanier Fellows. While their intellectual contributions formed our college’s academic history, it is their ongoing support and engagement within the Vanier College community which continues to shape our academic future.

Vanier College - Student Success Series Presents:
Improve your Essay Writing Skills
Where: Room 113 Vanier College
When: Tuesday February 20 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm
Have you ever been told:
- Where is your thesis?
- You have too many quotations
- You need to develop your argument
- Your organization needs work
Then this workshop is for you!
These are the most common things that students lose marks on in their essays. This two-hour workshop will show you strategies for organizing your ideas so that you can develop a strong thesis, develop a clear, logical argument, and have an appropriate balance of quotations in your paper. You will get the most out of this session if you bring your laptop and your notes and research material for one essay (either one you already handed in or better yet, one you have started to research). You will leave the workshop with powerful essay-writing tools that you can use to improve all your future essays.
