​York College recognized longtime York resident Scott Koch with the Good Neighbor award Friday in chapel.

For many years, Koch has worked with YC Athletics and the Department of Education in several important capacities. He has served as an official or coordinated the officials for hundreds of basketball and baseball games. He also worked with education majors in their student teaching experience as a mentor within York Public Schools.

Additionally, Koch was a part of organizing the Leadership York program and was intentional about involving the college.

​Patrons of the arts in York had several opportunities to enjoy live performances in the final weeks of the semester at York College.

First on the calendar was the Celebration Singers spring show, Seasons of Love. Performed April 19 and 20, this show-choir style production thrilled audiences with numbers such as All of Me, Wings, and a show-stopping performance of Somebody to Love.

Co-directed by Dr. Clark Roush and Tisa Lawrence, featuring the choreography of students Soren Tobey and Gabrielle Siebenaler, this show brought the house down both nights.

Starting in summer 2017, York College will offer a five-week study abroad experience in Vienna, Austria.
​
The study abroad experience will combine faith and learning in an international context with a small community of York College students and staff. Students in this program will have the opportunity to travel Europe, enroll in specially designed courses, and participate in unique spiritual growth activities. Since it seeks to integrate faith and learning, the program will be created and implemented in collaboration with the Office of the Provost and Spiritual Development office. Dr. Shane Mountjoy, provost, Dr. Sam Garner, director of spiritual development, and Dr. Erin DeHart, associate professor of education, will lead the program in 2017.
