 US News & World Report's 2020 College Rankings has identified York College as a top performer in the new social mobility category for Colleges in the Midwest Region, based on a variety of metrics. These rankings demonstrate the ongoing success York College has had helping students with fewer economic resources to achieve their educational goals.
For 35 years U.S. News & World Report has gathered research and statistics to provide students with helpful information as they search for a college or university. This year the U.S. News & World Report added a Social Mobility ranking to evaluate how well colleges serve students from low-income families. Kim Castor, editor and chief content officer of U.S. News, said, “We’ve found the best institutions to be ones committed to academically and financially supporting their students through graduation. They draw in high-quality professors and set students up for postgraduate success.”  508 students are enrolled for the Fall Semester of 2019, with a 9% increase in the number of students on campus combined with an increase of more than 100% in York College’s online programs. “God continues to bless York College in old ways and new. In light of a seven year, nationwide trend of declining college enrollment, our numbers buck the trend and show that we offer something of incredible value. Our entire enrollment team, including coaches, work extremely hard throughout the year and deserve to be commended for helping make our vision a reality,” said Jared Stark, vice president of enrollment & athletics.  The Clayton Museum of Ancient History at York College will host Dr. Mark Meehl for the annual Archaeology and the Bible Speaker Series event, on September 17.
Meehl's presentation topic will be, The Philistines in History, Archaeology, and the Bible – an Archaeologist’s View. A professor of theology at Concordia University, Dr. Meehl has participated in several archaeological digs in the Holy Lands, including ten seasons of excavation at Tel Miqne-Ekron, one of the five major Philistine cities that figured prominently in the history of ancient Israel. The program will be held in the Miller Room of the Mackey Center on the York College campus from 7 to 9 p.m. No tickets or reservations are necessary to attend this free event open to the public. |
