Winters College Winters College is named in honour of the late Robert Winters, first Chair of York University's Board of Governors. The college shares with the Faculty of Fine Arts the common goal of providing an environment where the development and expression of creativity is paramount. Through the Master’s Office, events are planned with a view to offering both commuter and resident students the chance to be inspired, entertained and challenged. Workshops, performances, film screening, presentations, special lectures and conferences are offered, and tickets are purchased for the ballet, theatre, symphony and opera at special discounted rates. Wandering around the college is a visual and auditory treat. One can hear a music rehearsal taking place, catch a glimpse of a dance recital or a juggling practice, or see the work of many of York’s visual artists, both student and faculty, hanging on the walls, in the courtyards and in the Eleanor Winters Art Gallery. Music, poetry and spoken word performances are regularly staged here, in the junior and senior common rooms, and the Winters Dining Hall. Similar events also take place in the Absinthe Coffee Shop and Pub, the heart of the college and a popular venue for emerging Information II. General local bands. The Ab is student run, and is managed by Winters College Council, a lively mix of resident and commuter students who also organize frosh week, the formal and various other events throughout the year. Winters College Council and the Master’s Office work in close collaboration and our primary concern is the creation of a rich social, cultural and academic milieu for all Winters’ students. Ideas and suggestions are always welcome. But Winters is not exclusively fine arts. Many of the students who are affiliated with us come from a wide variety of disciplines, and this diversity informs and enriches the community. We are also home to the York University English Language Institute, and the York University Portuguese Association, and benefit enormously from their activities in the college. Winters has long been known for its vitality and creative spirit, and it is also a community of serious scholars where academic excellence is fostered. We have a computer centre, and an Advising Centre where students can come to discuss both academic and personal issues and talk to student peer advisers and our academic adviser. Throughout the college a variety of study spaces – the junior common room, the dining hall, and in the warmer months, the courtyard – offer students a place to talk, to curl up with a book or to simply find a quiet retreat. Winters scholarships, bursaries and book prizes are offered yearly. Marie Rickard, Master, e-mail: [email protected] Master's Office: 266 Winters College, 416-736-5142 ______
