In addition to the Master of Arts in Education, Curriculum and Instruction, starting in spring 2017 a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership will also be offered. “This isn’t just for people in business. It’s for anyone who wants to develop leadership in any organization,” said Mallette, suggesting the degree will be of interest to those in fields such as nonprofit, ministry, law enforcement and fire fighters, and other public service areas where a master’s degree is required for promotion.
 York College held a ceremony on December 14 to recognize the accomplishments of students who had completed the requirements for graduation after the fall semester.

Photo gallery  On December 1, York College is asking everyone to join in prayer for the first annual #PrayingThursday. Piggy-backing on all the special 'days' of shopping and giving in the week after Thanksgiving, York College is soliciting prayers on behalf of students and the school for this one-day event.
"It's not a national holiday, but we think it should be," said Brent Magner, vice president of advancement. "While this is the first time we've promoted #PrayingThursday at YC, prayer is certainly not new to our campus. York College is here today because of a long history of prayers - for resources to open and reopen, for God to sustain the school year-to-year, for growth and greater service, for the people who have given their lives in service to our students, for the students who prepare for life while here -- and for their future and the impact they'll have on a lot of lives once they leave York." |
