Spring on the York College campus

Office of the President

Dr. Pamela Gunter-Smith began serving as president of York College of Pennsylvania on July 1, 2013. During her tenure, the College has seen a period of unprecedented growth and collaboration with the local community. 

With support from the Office of the President, the campus now has an established presence in downtown York through the Center for Community Involvement and Marketview Arts. A number of sustainability efforts are also underway, both on- and off-campus, spearheaded by the President's Task Force for Campus Sustainability. Under Dr. Gunter-Smith's leadership, York College continues a proud tradition of affordability and quality for more than 100 undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs. 

Servire Est Vivere

The College's motto, servire est vivere—to serve is to live—is an ongoing reminder of our mission. Our campus has long served as a place of opportunity where students can receive a practical, experiential education. Here, they build the foundations for their future careers, but even more importantly, they also develop tools to create lives of passion and purpose. By serving our students, York College becomes a catalyst for future generations who will make their own impact on their communities, their industries, and the world.
