Notable Alumni
Tom Cantrell, Cambridge graduate, author and lecturer at York University graduated in 2001. He studied English, Theatre Studies and History A Levels from 1999-2001. Speaking of his time at the college, Cantrell said he 'Had a fantastic two years at York College. Academically, all my courses were run with enthusiasm and dedication by the staff. Central to my experience was a sense of fun. My theatre studies tutors exposed us to a huge range of writing and theory which further inspired my love of theatre. The mixture of analytical study and practical experimentation is a teaching model I have developed in my own work at York University. The old Portakabin, half class room, half studio, brings back very happy memories, though the potential for students in the new building looks rather more impressive!'

Famous quotes containing the word notable:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
