YFile wants to feature you!

Focusing on life outside of York University, the ‘My Secret Life’ series examines what interesting – and perhaps unexpected – activities faculty and staff pursue during their personal time.

Do you have a special talent or an interesting hobby? Do you spend time making contributions to your community or have a volunteer role you are passionate about? Do you moonlight as an entertainer, artist, musician or performer? Have you won awards or competitions unrelated to your work at York University? We want to hear about it!

Fill out the questionnaire below to get started, and a YFile staff member will be in touch.
