On January 25, 2019, student and faculty members of York College and York County residents met outside of the Center for Community Engagement (CCE) to be a part of the worldwide Red Sand Project.

Project-based learning (PBL), when students work with community partners to develop key skills, is a hallmark of a York College education. Recent examples include engineering students using drones to study farming practices and the health of a local water reservoir, students in a communications class developing a plan to promote York’s Goodridge Freedom Center, students from hospitality management working on the renovation of the Yorktowne Hotel, and students from multiple disciplines building a telescope for the York County Parks System.
