Fresh Start Opening Days

T

he freshman experience can be a bit overwhelming as one sets foot on a college campus for the first time as a student. All the prep time and anticipation morphs into reality as the car(s) is quickly unloaded on a Wednesday morning and a residence hall becomes home in a matter of minutes. New beginnings, new friends, new schedules, a new home. Welcome to York College!

It was a busy orientation schedule the first few days, including a c a d e m i c advising, campus tours, and getto-know-you sessions with

Student Association, club reps, and YC Campus Ministries. A cookout at President Eckman’s home, free bowling, a concert by alumni Josh Cleveland and Todd Truitt, and a soccer scrimmage accompanied by a tailgate party were among the evening activities.

As returning students made their way back to campus on Saturday, freshmen were busy with service projects. With the help of Campus Ministries, Student Association, and some residence hall staff, orientation groups spent the day scraping and painting three houses in town.

During the first week of classes, the town of York gave their own welcome with a community fair, which included free prizes and a picnic dinner on the courthouse lawn.

orn dogs, chicken strips, corn on the cob, chips... all part of the Sunday night Block Party hosted by YCM and Student Association. With ideal weather for the evening fellowship, the party once again occupied Kiplinger Avenue in front of the residence halls.

To cap off a great evening, a student-organized talent show made the party complete.

A few weeks later the students took to the streets again for the annual Yorkfest Parade, passing candy out to the bright-eyed

children that lined the sidewalks.

Aside from volleyball being out of town for games, every possible athletic team was represented along with the Concert Choir and a scattering of faculty and staff. Around 200 students were involved, making the college’s entry the largest in the event. The parade provided a great venue for getting students out in the community and to show the college’s appreciation for all of the town’s support.

Oscar Marin, Carlos Arana, Bryan Magno, and Joe Madison put their best foot forward on behalf of the wrestling team. (above)

they feel best fits their personality.

The mail room on Monday morning ushers in Club Week with a flood of students anxious to know if they were drafted into their club of choice. The days to follow are filled with intense fellowship, friendly competition, abundance of fun, conversations around food, and a community service project. Every club strives to build relationships, while serving God and one another. In general, clubs provide a way for students to get involved on campus and build friendships that can last a lifetime.

Chase Craddock once again served as emcee and relied on his assistant Parker Seilstad to run the music. The evening was full of entertainment and laughter as new club members put on a pedestal the chosen sweethearts and beaus for the year.

ork College welcomed several hundred guests to campus over its annual Homecoming and High School Days weekend, October 11-13. Alumni returned to campus to relive their great college memories, while prospective students and their families visited to see all that York College has to offer.

The weekend included an alumni golf scramble, the fall theatre production of Strange Boarders, Athletic Hall of Fame induction of Dr. Roger Collins, alumni chapel, a choir concert, academic showcase, financial aid workshop, and several volleyball and soccer games.

At half-time of the men’s soccer game versus Presentation College, the YC Homecoming court paraded across the field. Homecoming Queen Breanna Stewart, a psychology major from Centennial, Colo., and King Caleb Connolly, a biology major from Sacramento, Calif., were crowned. Both women’s and men’s soccer teams saw a Homecoming victory on the field and the volleyball team won in four sets over Grace University.

Strange Boarders

T

he lighthearted theatre production of Strange Boarders was the perfect selection for Homecoming weekend. As quoted by Director John Baker—“just good clean fun.” Baker described the show as “cops and robbers, without the cops.” It was a hilarious good guys versus bad guys story, with elements of romance, comedy and suspense thrown in. Originally written in 1947, Baker says Strange Boarders has all of the tropes of that era: mysterious strangers, fedoras and dark suits, a bank heist, and a reward for capture of the bad guys as motivation for some quick thinking do-gooders.

Leading lady Briana Van Deusen described her character as eccentric, artistic, and optimistic. As the operator of a boarding house, Cordelia is determined to make it on her own and won’t accept the marriage proposal of a determined suitor until she’s proven her independence. Cordelia’s main flaw is her propensity to trust people a little too much.

When she ends up housing some thieves disguised as schoolteachers followed soon by gangsters and thugs, Cordelia learns that while independence is important, you’ve got to rely on your friends when things get dicey.

ll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, or in the case of a YC student, you need some fun down time to make up for all the book learnin’ that goes on. Built into the fall semester are several of those “let loose” events that gets everyone into the spirit of the moment and forget their worries for a while.

SA’s Halloween Party and the soccer teams’ Sketchy Tuesday seem to feed the need to go crazy with the wardrobe and just be silly.

Costumes range from the deranged and offbeat to the classic and creative productions. Whatever the style, participants seem to enjoy the comic relief and that everyone’s in the moment together.

This was the second year

for Autumn Fest hosted by Student Association at the Wessels Living History Farm. Complete with pumpkin decorating, hay rides, lots of food, and some interesting twosteppin’ moves in barn, the evening proved to be therapeutic and a great time away from studies.

As the semester came to a close, there were several Christmas events on c a m p u s that gave students the opportunity to think of others and make the most of their friendships and blessings.

Danielle Berry, Tiffany Shimp, and Tiffany Cole won the Halloween costume contest with their life-size versions of toy soldiers.

he York College Theater Department presented the annual Emerging Director One-Acts the weekend of November 15 and 16. The plays were the capstone projects of theatre major directors Jasmine Agee, Lauren Post, and Morgan Goracke. The student directors were busy during the semester selecting a script, designing the set and costumes, auditioning and coaching a cast, and all of the thousand small details that go into directing a show. It’s a hands-on lesson that has an immediate and practical impact on the theatre majors’ education.

In Memoriam, directed by Agee, is a thriller about five people who have all been invited to a castle on an island. Cast members soon realize that they have all been invited by different people but all have one thing in common: murder.

As the guests start disappearing, the audience moved to the edge of their seats, wondering who the real killer could be.

For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls, directed by Post, is a parody of the classic The Glass Menagerie. The fading Southern belle, Amanda, tries to prepare her hyper-sensitive son, Lawrence, for “the feminine caller.” Terrified of people, Lawrence plays with his collection of glass cocktail stirrers. Ginny, the feminine caller, is hard of hearing and overbearingly friendly. Brother Tom wants to go the movies, where he keeps meeting sailors who need to be put up in his room. Amanda tries to face everything with “charm and vivacity,” but sometimes she just wants to hit somebody.

Eisegesis, directed by Goracke, follows the story of Mr. Arnold Halsworth who wakes to find himself trapped alone in a mysterious prison cell, enclosed not by walls and doors but by a bizarre otherworldly void. While he attempts to reason through his situation, two strange men enter from the nothingness and overpower Mr. Halsworth, presenting him with a staggering accusation: that he is humanity’s most heinous criminal.

Grand Finale Food and Fellowship

A

s each semester comes to a close, food and fellowship seem to take a higher priority among the students. Whether it’s pre-finals breakfast, an ice cream social, Campus Ministries pancake feed, or just getting together with those in your inner circle, those final moments with friends aren’t to be wasted. Faculty and staff step up their involvement outside the classroom to help bring some of these special times into play and to wish students the best in a great finish to their studies.

Season of Renewal Shine Retreat

W

hen it comes time for spiritual renewal and fellowship for YC students, there’s nothing better than the mid-winter Shine Retreat. Away from the daily distractions of campus, the escape to Timberlake Ranch is an annual mecca for those seeking rejuvenation and a break from the routine.

Willie Sanchez and the campus ministry staff did a terrific job in organizing the getaway, utilizing the talents of several faculty and staff as group leaders. Derek Lambert came over once again from Lincoln to lead the worship

times. YC alumnus Josh Cleveland pulled double duty during the retreat as both a keynote speaker and musician. Students got a lot out of what he had to say and his acoustic concert highlighted the entertainment portion of the time on the ranch.

There were no shortage of activities at the ranch with card games, basketball, volleyball, and paintball available during free time.

Helping in the kitchen, vegging out, catching up on sleep, and the occasional work on a course assignment were all part of scene.

et in England during the Blitz, the compelling WWII drama Front reveals the untold stories of a number of individuals and families who must come to terms with war and the horrors and tragedies it creates. This includes Judith (Morgan Goracke) a proud matriarch, who works in a factory that makes bomb detonators; her missing husband, Frank; and their two children, Angie and Tom, who are forced to grow up much too quickly.

“These women had to go from being homemakers to being bomb makers and breadwinners.

The show is about their struggle to find hope in the midst of darkness,” Morgan said. There were humorous and light-hearted moments in this poignant show, described as a drama with heart.

The message of the production is overcoming tragedy and learning “how to create a new normal when everything has changed.”

A number of other war-torn individuals are also profiled, most of them women who have been left behind as their brothers, husbands, and sons have gone off to fight.

An interesting element of this production was the involvement of the show’s author, Robert Caisley.

Caisley was in contact with cast members and director John I. Baker III frequently as they prepared for the show, answering questions and giving insight into the production as he had envisioned it.

Vision Trek A Walk in the Woods

Y

ork College Vision Trekkers spent a week of spring break trekking over 30 miles through the Ozark mountains of southeast Missouri...sharing experiences, devotionals, and weather ranging from 70’s and sunny to 20’s and rainy, along with some snow showers.

After a seven-year break from Vision Trek, Dr. Shane Mountjoy decided it was once again time to introduce students to the wild. The trip left soar muscles, ruined clothes, and many blisters in its wake, but also new friendships, memories, and bonds that far outweighed the physical pain. This was not an experience to miss.

T

he 37th annual Songfest production was once again a crowd pleaser as about a fourth of the student body put their lives on hold during the spring semester to bring the Campbell Center to life. Under the direction of Mrs. Amy Fraser, months of planning, designing, creating, and rehearsing went into the threenight event with its closing finale on Saturday night of the High School Days weekend.

Brianna Bailey, Haley Brewster, Nicole Gates, Nolan Henningson, Drew Leonard, and Matthew Miller played host to the production and were a wonderful compliment to the club shows.

Harp visits with the children before the show is underway,

To the dismay of Bessy, Frihol makes Jack an offer he can’t refuse.

With Giant in hot pursuit, Jack chops down the beanstalk.

Rafe Heywood’s greedy schemes come to light early in the play.

Jack and the Beanstock

Traveling Children’s Theatre

T

he story of Jack and the Beanstalk is one of the classics of children’s theatre. The famous fairy tale is full of magic and centers on Jack, a boy who is sent to town to sell the family cow. On the way, he encounters a mysterious woman who offers him some magic beans for the animal. Jack agrees to the deal, but when he returns home, his mother scolds him and throws the beans out the window.

In the morning, Jack finds a beanstalk that has grown up in full view of the audience, and he can not resist climbing it.

Up in the Giant’s house, above the clouds, Jack is nearly caught in a breathtaking chase over the stage, and escapes only with the help of the Giant’s wife. Then as Jack climbs toward home, there is a beautiful and magnificent scene on the beanstalk, where the Man in the Moon tests his courage. Jack CAST

proves his mettle by finding a way not only to rescue the Giant’s wife, but also to save his own mother from Rafe Heywood’s greedy schemes. And when he finally chops down the beanstalk — with the Giant on it — the audience is jubilant.

The cast of thirteen York College students performed their show more than 20 times over the course of the spring semester in Nebraska and Colorado. This was John Baker’s 17th season directing the YC production.

2014 Commencement

O

n May 8 friends and family gathered in the Campbell Student Activity Center to see the class of 2014 complete their “York Experience” as they crossed the stage to collect their diplomas, along with a handshake and a hug from President Eckman. It was a big class as one hundred and two students received their bachelor’s degrees.

Senator Greg Adams gave the commencement address.

Adams, formerly the mayor of York and currently the speaker of the Nebraska Legislature, spoke about the importance of respect. Adams told students that the human need to be respected is “almost as important as your need to breathe or take nourishment.”

“When your life comes to an end, how do you want to be known?” Adams challenged. “Today you are respected. You have earned it,” he said, encouraging students to continue to lead lives worthy of respect.

At the conclusion of the commencement address, Dr.

Dr. Shane Mountjoy presents the Dean’s Award to Amber Clark.

Shane Mountjoy, York College provost, presented the Dean’s Award to Amber Clark, a business administration major from Appleton, Wisconsin, who graduated summa cum laude. The award is the highest academic honor given by the faculty to a graduate whose involvement and leadership are matched by their high academic success.

At the conclusion of these honors, President Eckman shook each graduate’s hand as he presented them with their earned diploma. Seniors were then hooded by a relative or close friend.

t times going beyond the classroom takes learning to a whole new level.

Students took the role of teachers at the end of the fall semester when they hosted York-area elementary students at the Cultural Geography Fair in the Mackey Center.

Mongolia, Greece, Ireland, Fiji, Laos, Haiti, Oman, Romania, Nepal, Ethiopia, Peru, and the Dominican Republic were all part of the mix as presentations included food, games, music, activities, and other fun items on display.

After graduation, Tim and Bev McNeese took Tiffany Cole, Michael Hartman, and Lauren Post on a two-week Virginia study-tour that included stops at Colonial Williamsburg, Monticello, Jamestown Settlement, and a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural marvel Fallingwater.

In mid-July, Erin DeHart chaperoned a group of eight students and YC alumni on a ten-day Holocaust study trip. Each person in the group was impacted in a personal way as they visited historical memorials, landmarks, and concentration camps in Berlin, Germany, Krakow, Poland, and Amsterdam, Netherlands. YC students that accompanied DeHart were Kelsey Buglewicz, Kayla Durham, Trey Sokolik, and Jameson Trauger, Michael Hartman gets photographed by Tiffany Cole relaxing at a local coffee shop.

tudent Association was constantly on the go in serving the YC campus and providing a ton of social events for the year and giving everyone a voice in improving their college experience.

Kicking things off for SA was the annual Kiplinger Block Party with YCM. Early in the fall semester, SA organized a special chapel to introduce the Homecoming candidates and then continued those responsibilities with the weekend crowning ceremony. This was the second year for SA to host Autumn Fest at Bryan Magno the Wessels Living Farm. The carnival-like atmosphere was enjoyed by the students and provided a great place to two-step. Always popular with students were the movie nights:

Star Trek Into Darkness, Gravity, Thor 2, Frozen, The Lego Movie, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Also part of SA’s offerings were Midnight Madness, Halloween Party, Tournament Week, the campus Christmas Party, Super Bowl Party, Singled Out, and an Easter Egg Hunt which boasted incredible prizes and cash.

At year’s end they helped put on a wonderful All-College Banquet at McCool Jct. and honored Susan Van Deusen as Staff Member of the Year and Christi Lones as Teacher of the Year.

SA’s special project was new furniture for one of the classrooms in Sack Hall. .

a mpus Ministries had a very visible presence on the YC campus as they made a difference in the lives of students. At the beginning of the academic year, they were out in force as they helped new students unload and check into their residence hall. They served as group leaders for orientation and assisted with the Saturday service projects, painting three different houses in the York community and then followed that up the next day by helping organize the welcome back block party on Kiplinger Avenue.

YCM staff was very involved with the year’s course of daily chapel, 9’o clock, Wednesday Night, dorm devotionals and social events, and planned the all school “Deal or No Deal” game night. As always, the big event was the February Shine Retreat at Timberlake Ranch. The annual winter getaway had the theme of “Yes, But No More” and dealt with the fact that we are all sinners, but by making God real and personal, we can live a life that is truly changed.

T

he 65-member Concert Choir delivered inspiring and edifying performances throughout the Midwest under the direction of Dr. Clark Roush, Endowed Chair for the Performing Arts. Their Winter Tour over the Christmas break included concerts in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma. A memorable moment was when a winter storm cancelled their Springfield concert, yet the hosting congregation paid for their hotel rooms and supper

at Cracker Barrel. The choir paid it forward with an impromptu performance at the restaurant which was captured on video and went viral on the web.

They performed their Spring Works Concert, Wings of Reverie, to a nearly packed auditorium at the First Presbyterian in April. Kay Magner provided the evening’s piano accompaniment and John I. Baker III was the evening’s orator. The concert was recorded and made available on YouTube.

The choir recorded a CD titled I’m Gonna Sing at the end of the year featuring their 2013-14 repertoire.

Dr. Roush completed his 28th year at York College.

elebration Singers made the Gurganus stage come alive once again with their end of semester performances of Cocoa and Carols and CineMagic. In December their four-day production “The Best Time of the Year: Music and Memories of Christmas” was sold out in advance of opening night.

The family-friendly production featured a variety of solo and ensemble numbers, including beloved Christmas favorites with choreography and skits. The admission price of $5 included cocoa and cookies that the local chapter of Helping Hands made available.

The Singers presented their high-energy spring production, CineMagic, on April 22 and 23, but because of a power outage

on opening night, they went the extra mile and gave an encore performance on May 7th.

Audiences packed Gurganus Hall for all three nights.

The show featured a wide variety of music from well known Hollywood movies, including Frozen, Skyfall, O Brother Where Art Thou, High School Musical, Grease, and others.

Amy Fraser was in her fourth year as director of the ensemble.

The White Christmas duet by Brianna Bailey and Caleb Smith was a crowd favorite. (above) Soren Tobey and Nolan Henningson livened up the stage in their Bop to the Top duet. (lower left and right) Caleb “Moose” Smith and Cameron Holmes had a lot of hilarious moments in Man or Muppet. (left)

Sigma Tau Delta

Y Brenna Johnson served as president of Sigma Tau Delta for the year. (above)

ork’s chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honors Society, grew in numbers with the induction of seven students in the fall semester.

The group stayed busy with its weekly meetings, a Christmas party, co-sponsoring the Writer’s Workshop, and producing the annual edition of Unvarnished Words, a collection of creative prose, poetry, artwork, and photography from York College students.

The 2nd Annual York College Writer’s Workshop, sponsored by the English Dept. and Sigma Tau Delta, was honored to host Twyla Hansen, Nebraska Poet Laureate on March 23. The occasion was successful, in part, due to the active participation of Sigma Tau Delta members at both the Poetry Reading and the actual 2-hour Writer’s Workshop with Twyla Hansen. Approximately 40 people from the community and the college attended. The event was also sponsored and funded by the Nebraska Humanities Council.

Students inducted this year into Sigma Tau Delta were Quentin Becker, Danielle Berry, Kyle Bottom, Tiffany Cole, Morgan Goracke, Tyler Helms, and Bethany Miller. Beverly McNeese was the lead sponsor and Dr. Jennifer Dutch was the co-sponsor.

t’s a vital part of who we are as a college and has been a mainstay at YC since the very beginning. Daily chapel provides a unique time to gather as a family, see your friends, find out what’s taking place on campus, and worshipping the One who made it all possible.

Whether given by a student, campus guest, or a member of the faculty or staff, the message is meant to make a difference and encourage a stronger walk with God. Club Week, senior chapels, Champions of Character, praise chapels, and even daily announcements... all make the experience a lifelong blessing. From President Eckman’s address at opening chapel to the closing assembly at the end of the spring semester, what takes place between 10:00 and 10:30 in the confines of the Campbell Student Activity Center will have a significant reach in the education of a York College student.

Learning 101 Beyond the facts

B

ringing knowledge and information to life can be a daunting task, but the faculty at York College strive to do just that as they educate in and out of the classroom. Going the extra mile to make sure students are a success in life, have the spiritual tools they need, and provide touches of home that aren’t covered in their contract are a testimony to their higher calling and why they work at YC. Creative thinking and teaching, tutorial assistance, road trips, extra office hours... all make the learning experience more complete and attainable.

Students took the role of teachers at the end of the fall semester when they hosted York-area elementary students at the Cultural Geography Fair in the Mackey Center. Mongolia, Greece, Ireland, Fiji, Laos, Haiti, Oman, Romania, Nepal, Ethiopia, Peru, and the Dominican Republic were all part of the mix as presentations included food, games, music, activities, and other fun items on display.

here was a new kid on the block as the men’s club Koinonia was resurrected in the fall and paired with Beta Beta Sigma. The clubs seemed made for each other and began the year with a flurry of activities. They hosted a luau, complete with a limbo and hula contest to recruit new members. Capture the flag, kiss and tackle, speeddating, Beta’s synchronized swimming, and coffee with the club were all part of Club Week.

Service projects were volunteering at Adopt-a-Pet throughout the year, serving a dinner for Epworth Village, working with the People’s City Mission in Lincoln in their Starry Nights program as well as helping homeless women and children, and a week of service during spring break in Oklahoma City.

Other activities were movie nights, a club Christmas party, bowling night, bonfires, and game nights, along with their Magic Show in Songfest.

From Delta’s coronation production of Wannabe to both clubs lifting the All-Sports trophies at the year-end banquet, it was a great year to be in club.

Some of the activities enjoyed were Delta’s Pinterest nights, weekly meetings, joint Christmas party with white elephant gifts, and the end of the year bonfire banquet.

Delta elevated their service presence by volunteering at AdoptA-Pet, babysitting for a YC alumni event as well as a holiday Drop ‘N Shop, and participating in the East Hill clothing exchange. The two clubs put a lot of time and energy together in the spring semester with their Songfest production of Around the World.

rom the beginning, Omega Phi and Kingsmen made great efforts to do things together and were blessed as the year went along. Joint activities included a lot of crazy games and mixers during Club Week, club devotionals, joint Christmas party, club banquet, and an end-of-the-year BBQ. Omega Phi donated their time and energy once again to Operation Christmas Child, a holiday service project through the international relief organization Samaritan’s Purse. They were successful in getting the campus involved in donating shoebox care packages and blessing needy children.

During spring break, Kingsmen and Omega Phi volunteered their services to anyone needing assistance for the week. For Songfest, the clubs broke out the lifeguard outfits for their tribute to everything good about Summertime.

At the All-College Banquet, Omega Phi was presented the Big Heart Award for having the highest percentage of participation in the campus blood drives.

At the beginning of the year the clubs volunteered once again at Living Water Rescue Mission for various service projects that included cleaning, washing dishes, restocking the pantry, and some light food prepping. Theta Psi entertained in good taste at Coronation with “What Does the Fox Say?” At banquet, Theta Psi repeated with the highest accumulative grade point average among clubs winning the Academic Excellence Award.

hile most students enjoy a rest during school holidays, many at YC choose instead to dedicate that time to the Lord in service to others.

A team of eight students spent part of the Christmas holiday in Haiti, blessing children in orphanages in Portau-Prince. They also did outreach and service in the area, including work at a free medical clinic, offering English lessons, and conducting a three-day soccer tournament for children.

Also traveling over the Christmas break was a group of four students and six YC alumni who flew to Ecuador to work with local missionaries on maintenance of a church camp facility and construction of a new church building. Assistant professor of communication, Shannon Leinen and her husband Jared planned the trip,

Missions

During spring break, a team of nine from YC led by Dr. Milton Eckhart, associate professor of biology, traveled to northern Haiti to conduct a week-long mobile health clinic.

Partnering with a volunteer team of doctors and nurses through the non-profit Every Eye Will See Him, the group from York College treated 150-200 people each day—taking time to pray with each patient as well as address their physical needs.

Nine members of Beta Beta Sigma and Koinonia traveled to Oklahoma City for their break, where they spent six days serving the homeless and feeding the hungry. The team spent time volunteering at a variety of non-profits including Cross and Crown, Feed the Children, and the city mission. They sorted donations of food, clothing, and personal items, and spent a lot of time praying and fellowshipping with the people served by those organizations.

fter last year’s incredible run to the NAIA Baseball World Series, first-year Head Coach Brian Walth was hoping for a repeat visit to Idaho with this year’s team. However, there was a new kid in town, so to speak, as the Eagles from Oklahoma Wesleyan rose to the top of the MCAC as well as garnered national attention with the #3 NAIA ranking. The Panthers and Bruins did their usual sparring as they split 3-3 in their match-ups and provided some incredible battles for the home crowd to enjoy at Levitt Stadium. The Panthers finished their season with a record of 32-21, 14-10 in conference play.

Tyler Helms was selected as a first-team catcher on the talent-laden MCAC team. Helms posted a .374 average for the season and recorded three home runs, nine doubles and 35 RBIs. All-MCAC 2nd Team were Sean Goodall (OF), Matt Owen (OF), and Tyler Molder (P).

Helms and Trevor Ramos were MCAC Golden Glove recipients. Ramos led the team with 37 RBIs, Rudy Perez with 24 stolen bases, Molder’s 2.63 ERA led the pitching staff, and Josh Knoll led with 72 strikeouts. Cody Baack, Josh Burgener, D.J. Drews, Tyler Helms, and Jacob Powell were MCAC Scholar-Athletes.

Darreon Collins, a senior from Kansas City, Missouri, was recognized as the MCAC Outstanding Male Athlete of the Year, winning three individual golds and two golds in team relay events. Joe Ventry was an NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championship qualifier in the triple jump but did not compete due to injury. Head Coach Justin Carver had the repeat honor of being recognized as the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference Outstanding Coach of the Year for both men’s and women’s track teams. Kyle Bottom, Elizabeth Callaway, Jake Hasenauer, Marisa Maher, Ryne Smith, Kayla Struck, and Collin Tucker were named Daktronics NAIA Scholar-Athletes.

Administration

I

t was a year of forward thinking and planning as York College made preparations for its 125th anniversary celebration. President Eckman and the administration began the silent phase of a capital campaign that would usher in some key campus facilities and improvements.

With construction beginning in the summer of 2014, the new 11,000 square-foot performing arts center took the lead on the campus initiatives.

In the spring semester, the Museum of Ancient History slowly began taking shape in the lower floor of the Mackey Center, and the basement of Middlebrook underwent a transformation of mammoth proportions to facilitate three new classrooms featuring the latest teaching technology.

Fall enrollment came in at 459 students with one of the state’s largest percentage of minority enrollments at 30%. Three faculty members joined the YC family in the fall: Dr. Jennifer Dutch (English), Dr. Milton Eckhart (Biology), and Dr. Kirk Mallette (Education). The college was richly blessed with a successful Higher Learning Commission visit in the spring thanks in large part to our self-study Steering Committee: Dr. Shane Mountjoy and Dr. Clark Roush (co-chairs), Erin DeHart, Christi Lones, and Jared Stark. On the financial side, York College was able to finish in the black for the fifth consecutive year.
