York College has announced that a gift from a generous alumni couple will provide matching funds for new scholarship gifts, now through June 30.

The scholarship funds created will support all kinds of students, including those with high academic achievement, financial need, athletes, and performers. “These funds will help make York College accessible for every student who wants to be part of this community and is willing to work to make that happen. Right now students and their families are finalizing decisions and arrangements about school this fall and these additional scholarship dollars will make the York Experience an even more attractive option,” said Brent Magner, vice president for advancement. 

Dr. Trissa Cox has returned to York College in a new capacity, as Professor of Information Systems and Director of the Information Commons in the new Levitt Academic Resource Center.

Cox and her husband Curly served at York College from 1994-1997, she in student services and he in athletics and education. “Across the years, Curly and I have referred to our 1990s stint in Nebraska as our family’s ‘Big Adventure.’ And who knew that another opportunity like this would come along?” said Trissa. “We have been having fun telling our children, grandchildren - and our friends that we have this great opportunity for a new Big Adventure at YC.”

York College announced today the list of Dean's List scholars for the spring 2019 term. Ninety-eight students were recognized with this distinction. 

To be named to the Dean’s List, students must carry 12 or more graded hours and achieve a semester grade point average of at least 3.75 with no incomplete grades and no grade below “C” for the semester.
