When design listens, responds and protects, it can change lives.

Two Yorkville University Bachelor of Interior Design students are showing exactly what that looks like.

🎓 Salwa Asghar-Merchant has received an Award of Excellence from the Interior Designers of Canada (IDC) for Deaf Connect | When Design Listens Beyond Sound — a project exploring how interior spaces can better serve Deaf users.

🏠 Melika Gheisari, a current BID student, earned an Honourable Mention for Living Layers: A Protective Shelter for Wildfire Displacement, exploring how design can respond to the urgent needs of communities facing climate-related displacement.

Recognized through Interior Designers of Canada's Value of Design Awards: Student Competition, both projects demonstrate the power of thoughtful, evidence-based design to do more than create beautiful spaces.

We’re proud to see Yorkville University students bringing purpose and impact to the future of interior design.

What if learning online didn’t mean learning alone?

For Yorkville University MACP student Chloe Winterhalt, one of the biggest surprises of pursuing her master’s online has been just how connected she’s felt throughout the experience.

From learning alongside students with different backgrounds and perspectives, to becoming a more independent learner, to finally putting her coursework into practice during practicum. Chloe’s journey shows how much can happen beyond the classroom.

And sometimes, the most rewarding part is seeing everything you’ve learned start to come together. 🎓

We are proud to support:
• Students pursuing meaningful healthcare careers

Sometimes, the next chapter begins with a simple question: How can I do more?

For Michelle Matin, Yorkville University MACP alumni, that question became the catalyst for a journey from educational leadership into counselling.

When Michelle stepped into her role as Vice Principal during the COVID-19 pandemic, she found herself supporting not only students, but educators, families and entire school communities through unprecedented stress and uncertainty. She knew she wanted to do more to support the emotional and psychological wellbeing of the people she served.

So, she went back to school.

What she discovered was more than a new set of clinical skills. She rediscovered her love of learning, built meaningful connections with classmates that grew into lasting friendships, and developed a deeper curiosity about the research and evidence behind counselling practice.

Now, as a practising counsellor, Michelle is bringing those two worlds together. Education and mental health, with a goal of helping people feel seen, heard and supported.

And while graduation marked the end of her MACP journey, for Michelle, it was really the beginning of something new.

The proud moment? Hearing her son call out, "That's my mom!" as she walked across the stage.

Going back to school isn’t easy.
Betting on yourself rarely is.

But when you choose to keep growing, even when life is already full, you never know where that decision might take you. 🎓

Your next chapter can start from anywhere.

For 25 years, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) student Yollanda Zhang lived with bipolar disorder largely in silence.

Now, she's sharing her story in Out of Darkness, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre's documentary series exploring the lived experience of bipolar disorder.

Her decision to speak openly marks a powerful shift from silence to advocacy. Alongside the documentary, she's also writing a book and using her lived experience to help reduce stigma and encourage more open conversations about mental health.

Yollanda's story is a reminder that vulnerability has the power to create connection—and that sharing our experiences can help others feel seen, understood, and less alone.
