 Transforming lives through Christ-centered education is the mission of York College. It’s also the guiding philosophy of the college’s Second Chance Education Program (SCEP), which offers inmates at the Nebraska Correctional Center for Women the opportunity to earn a degree while serving time at the facility in York.
Now in its third year, SCEP has received a grant from Nebraska Department of Corrections’ Vocational and Life Skills program, which funds efforts that create bridges between incarceration and successful re-entry into mainstream society through training and education.  A world-class leadership training event will be available this August at York College. For the first time, the campus will serve as a satellite location for the Global Leadership Summit. While the main location for the Global Leadership Summit will be near Chicago, York will be one of hundreds of locations across the world to simulcast the two-day event.
The event runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, August 9, and from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, August 10. The theme for the Summit is “Everyone Has Influence.” The event is expected to attract nearly half a million attendees worldwide. The Global Leadership Summit is the largest event of its kind, bringing together leaders from many disciplines and areas of industry.  Aleshia (Showen ‘85) O’Neal will join the York College faculty this fall as an assistant professor of English.
O’Neal previously served at Harding University, where she taught first and second year writing courses. Prior to that, she has also taught a range of subjects in middle schools and high schools in Arkansas, Wisconsin, and Missouri.  York College announced today the list of Dean's List scholars for the Spring 2018 term; 96 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. York College is proud to recognize these Dean's List Scholars: |
