Penn State (Main campus)

York University Dean, Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LA&PS) First Nations peoples have lived on this part of Turtle Island for millennia, stewarding the land, the water and all that contributes to life in this region. Today, the culture and presence of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples enrich the lands and people of this territory. More than two centuries ago, the Mississauga people welcomed settlers to this territory, providing sustenance and engaging in trade and commerce. Today, York University campuses are located on the Toronto Purchase Treaty No. 13 lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the lands of the Anishinabek of the Williams Treaties First Nations. Our campuses are also situated on the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. Treaty history is foundational, and it is our collective responsibility to honour the land, as we honour and respect those who have gone before us, those who are here and those who have yet to come. We are grateful for the opportunity to be learning, working and thriving on this land, and we commit to learn the truth and be active in the process of reconciliation. As York University embarks on its next chapter of growth and impact, the University invites applications and nominations for the position of Dean, Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LA&PS). This pivotal moment calls for bold, globally-minded leadership at an institution recognized for advancing positive change. Canada’s 3rd largest university, York provides scholars and students with access to outstanding research and an exceptional teaching and learning environment. With three campuses in the Greater Toronto Area—one of the most vibrant and multicultural regions in the world—York hosts a diverse and dynamic community of over 53,000 students and nearly 7,000 faculty and staff. Reflecting both its scale and ambition, in recent years the University opened its Markham Campus, unveiled The Joan and Martin Goldfarb Gallery at Keele, and is advancing its School of Medicine; the first in Canada with a core mission to train community-focused primary care physicians, the medical school is set to welcome its first cohort in September 2028. York has also been building on its strong research foundation across all disciplines, with large-scale funded projects, award-winning scholars and groundbreaking research with transformative, real-world impact. The University takes special pride in its distinctive progressive, forward-looking ethos summed up in its motto, Tentanda Via: the way must be tried. Many of the University’s strengths are found in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, York’s largest Faculty and one of the most diverse liberal arts faculties in Canada.
