        History

        The Office of International Services, created as the administrative arm of the York-Kenya Training Program in 1969, became operational in 1970. In 1972 the relationship between the two entities was reversed, with or s becoming the directing office for all international activities at the University of which the Kenya Project was the most prominent. International Services had a mandate to determine priorities and areas of specialization for York in the international field; to provide a clearing house for all matters relating to launching, funding, organization monitoring and evaluation of international research efforts at York; to establish contacts with other universities to develop student and faculty exchanges; to maintain contacts with Canadian and international funding agencies (CIDA, UN Development Programme, OAS, IBRD etc.) for international projects (in cooperation with the Office of Research Administration), and to maintain files on specialists in other universities and agencies (consultants, engineers etc.) who might be interested in international work. In 1984 the Office was succeeded by York International.
