YC senior Kendall Fike had traveled internationally several times for mission trips and considered herself to be a fairly experienced globetrotter. However, she was caught off her guard when things started going wrong this summer in Greece. A mistake in her flight info led to unexpected changes in the itinerary, which had a ripple effect on where and when she had lodgings arranged. When she arrived in Greece, her phone’s map app didn’t work. She got lost in a scary part of town. It was enough to make a person want to sit down and cry.

And then get up and embrace the adventure. 

​This fall York College will welcome one new member to the faculty. Glen Bowman will teach a variety of general education and upper division courses in the psychology department as an assistant professor. ​

Bowman comes to York from Los Banos, California, where he has been preaching at Los Banos Church of Christ. He has served as a teacher for World Bible School since 2008. Bowman holds degrees from the University of California at Berkeley and Harding University, where he studied psychology and religion. He is currently working on a doctorate in psychology through Grand Canyon University.

​From a chance meeting at York College’s Freeman Center, York College and the York General Wellness Center have entered into a partnership to promote wellness within our community --  and the location for that partnership is the Holthus Field House, located on the York College campus.
 
Matt Madole, York College athletic director, saw someone wandering through the gymnasium one day, looking somewhat lost. “I approached him to see if I could help,” Madole explained.  That person turned out to be Jon Larsen, a York native and also a strength and conditioning specialist at the York General Wellness Center.
