Faculty of Education Students' Association

All undergraduate students registered in the Faculty, including stop-out students, are members of the Faculty of Education Students' Association (FESA). The FESA Council is the official student government of the Faculty, and seeks to represent student opinion and interest within the Faculty and University as a whole. FESA representatives sit on several Faculty committees, on the York Federation of Students, and on the University Senate. Serving pre-service teacher candidates from concurrent and consecutive programs, FESA strives to cultivate a sense of community among over 1600 students, across two campuses and 11 off-campus sites. Among other initiatives, FESA sponsors professional development workshops, social activities, book fairs and an annual conference. The FESA ombudspersons offer advice and assistance to students experiencing difficulty in their practicum placements. FESA also produces a newsletter, a Teacher Candidates' Rights handbook and a Get-A-Job handbook. The FESA Office is located in N833A Ross (416-736-2100 ext. 88779).
