Kelley Gibson '96
President
Cultural Alliance of York County
“I would not be in York without York College. Coming here, it felt like coming to the place I was meant to be. The skills and experience I gained from the faculty at York College gave me the abilities I needed to jump into the community building work very early on in York... If I had not come to York College, I would never have met my husband of twenty years and started our family."
Current City: York, PA
YCP Degree: BA English
