OPIRGatYorkUniversity

With ups and downs, OPIRG York completed another year of student activism and social justice involvement on campus.

The start of the academic year kicked-off with an amazing disOrientation week.

OPIRG York provided support to CUPE 3903 in solidarity with contract faculty and graduate students.

We've held a series of workshops and screened several films.

Our working groups have organized various events and activities and led awareness campaigns.

In April, we held our AGM and held our elections for new Board of Director.

Nominations: March 17-31
Voting: April 7th

Nomination packages are available in the OPIRG office, room C449 on the fourth floor of the Student Centre.
