To help support students from Black communities in their transition to university life, York University created the Black Excellence at York University (BE YU) program.  

BE YU aims to help first-year, as well as upper-year, students from Black communities reach their academic and career goals through workshops, special events, mentoring and academic advising. The program is also supported by additional university-wide supports with services tailored to meet the academic, mental health, wellness and financial needs of Black students.
