​New students arrived on campus last Saturday, bringing with them their hopes and dreams for the future, as well as cars piled high with clothes, computers, and other dorm-life necessities.

Several athletic teams that had arrived a week early for practice were ready to help freshmen and transfer students unload vehicles and set up their rooms. An evening picnic meal at the Larsen Commons and a devotional on the steps of McGehee welcomed the students and their families to campus.

​From web-based tours of the Holy Lands to new curriculum options, ​attendees from five states shared what’s new in Bible class teaching at the recent Bible Teachers Workshop hosted by York College on Saturday, July 23. The 2016 workshop saw more than 80 participants from churches throughout the region.

​In keeping with the mission of York College to transform lives through Christ-centered education and equip students for lifelong service to God, family, and society, the Bible Teachers Workshop equipped participants to be more effective in ministering through Bible class education in their home congregations and make an impact at the local level.

​More than 40 young leaders from five states converged on the York College campus for a week of learning and development at the Presidential Leadership Institute, July 10-16.

​Students from Christian high schools in Alabama, Florida, Missouri, Texas, Colorado and Oklahoma attended the weeklong institute on the York College campus. The event brought together thought leaders from industry, education, political, and ministry spheres to discuss what makes a great leader. Student teams from each school put together an impact plan for the coming year at their school and presented their ideas at the end of the week.
