Volunteering as a GLYS provides you with an amazing opportunity to gain new competencies and use existing knowledge. GLYS will advise and assist staff from the International Collaborations and Partnerships office and across the university to support and engage with internationalization activities. Activities will include a range of internationalization partnership projects throughout the year. GLYS will share ideas and promote York Science degree programs to potential students from international partners. GLYS will also support the promotion of events and initiatives and lead on the development of certain projects, such as Student Mobility, Sustainable Development Goals, STEM Leadership Training Program, York Science Global Engagement Fundraising, and UNESCO International Basic Sciences Programme (IBSP). In addition, GLYS aims to increase the cultural awareness of students from the diverse multicultural community of our university as well as provide a better and welcoming environment for international students. GLYS prepares the bases for both international and domestic students to interact and increase our community's knowledge.
