Aboriginal Post-Secondary Information Program - Jolene John - SASSY 2014TEDx Adventure Catalyst
Presented at the 2014 Student Affairs and Services Symposium at York University.
Learn about the Aboriginal Post-Secondary Information
Program (APSIP) and how it empowers Aboriginal learners,
leaders, educators, institutions, and communities to collaborate to increase access, retention, and inclusion of Indigenous peoples, pedagogies, epistemologies, and methodologies within academia.
Presented at the 2014 Student Affairs and Services Symposium at York.
In July 2011, Ryerson University and York University signed the Inter-University Joint Teaching and Learning Initiative Memorandum of Understanding (“Ryerson-York Initiative”), a historic landmark agreement, establishing a foundation for interinstitutional collaboration in teaching and learning. The Ryerson-York Initiative builds upon both universities’ shared commitment to teaching excellence, positive student experience, institutional collaboration and access to post-secondary education. In particular the agreement aims to promote student mobility and enhance student experience by:
- Facilitating improved access by students of each institution to existing courses/programs offered at the other institution;
- Allowing students at each institution to customize their learning experience through increased choice and accessibility.

Using Lizzio’s ‘Five Senses’ to Shape Residents’ First Year Experience - Dary...TEDx Adventure Catalyst
Presented at the 2014 Student Affairs and Services Symposium at York University.
Lizzio’s ‘Five Senses’ to Shape Residents’ First Year Experience. In the Spring of 2013, York’s Residence Life program shifted their student development framework to that of
Alf Lizzio’s (2006) “Five Senses of Successful Transition” focusing on the importance of positive transition and the First Year Experience. This shift strengthened our theoretical base, complimented the Division’s strategic plan, and allowed us to achieve outcomes that we strive for through residence programming. Using Lizzio’s Senses, as well as ACUHO-I and CAS Standards, we developed a student experience model that is institutionally-relevant, theory-based, and assessable. In this session participants will learn about York’s strategy, and gain relevant ideas for their departments.
