This year, in an effort to better engage and educate York University students and the community about Ghanaian culture and African history, in general, the Ghanaian Students’ Association at York is having a live performance celebration on Thursday, March 6^th in the Students’ Centre Food Court from 6pm to 10pm. The vision for this event is to have live drumming, dancers, singing, fashion shows, and a Ghanaian and African history lesson through acting. With Ghana being the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence, it is only appropriate that we’ll also be having other African student associations at York  participating in both shows and dance; as March 6^th 1957 was the start of independence for African countries.

THEIR STORY
Serving as a cornerstone of the York University community for years, our team of restaurant staff works diligently to provide a welcoming and dining experience.

Whether it be for a drink with friends, a quick dessert before class, or a booked event in our spaces, the Underground is the place to be to add excitement to your campus experience!

The Student Centre is a central point for community life at York University. It is dedicated primarily to serving the cultural, social, educational, organizational and recreational interests of the York community on a non-profit basis.

The Student Centre is more than just place for students to meet and relax. The Student Centre houses a number of services as well as approximately 35 student clubs. Several cultural, ethnic, and various student groups organize several exciting programs throughout the year. These groups use the Student Centre as the location for their social events, cultural programs and a variety of other activities.

The York University Student Centre (YUSC) manages the facility and coordinates all activities that take place at the Centre throughout the year.
