Based in principles of “human-centered design” (Design Thinking), the Engaged Scholars community reflects York College’s commitment to community-based, hands-on learning and to being a strong resource for the greater York community, its people, and its businesses and organizations. This group of Scholars and their mentors provide human-centered research and actions that take on the knotty problems and offer “new-to-the world” innovations that address those problems.

Students in this honors community, coordinated by York College’s Center for Community Engagement (CCE), emerge with more than an academic degree; they emerge with the record of leadership and proven success that all employers seek. They are a coalition of artists, social and natural scientists, humanities scholars, businesspeople, community advocates, and servant leaders, and enter their careers as engaged, innovative, and experienced professionals. As such, they are also thought leaders who can influence the general population of students at York College. Engaged Scholars are makers, doers, and collaborators. They are: Researchers who take on topics that have consequence for their own professional and personal goals—and for the world around them; Entrepreneurial thinkers, who use innovation and human-centered design to create new-to-the-world ideas; Leaders who drive change on our campus and in our community; Collaborators, who work together in teams to share their own unique skills, knowledge, and talents; Doers and change-makers who apply classroom learning to real-world needs; Engaged citizens who work with a network of college and community mentors; and Global citizens who situate their work within diverse cultures. The Engaged Scholars are comprised of students from a number of prestigious and successful programs, including: The Graham Collaborative Innovation Fellows The Eisenhart Community Scholars The Presidential Research Fellows The Gordon Leadership Scholars The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Scholars The DelliCarpini Community Art Scholars The Hope Scholars, comprised of highly engaged students from the York College Community Opportunity Scholarship Program (YCCOSP) and the York College Changemakers (Spartan Service Alliance and Impact York programs) The Glatfelter Public Affairs Scholars Admission to the Program Leadership Team Graham Center for Collaborative Innovation (GCCI) ACCESS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM BENEFITS Expand AllCollapse All Build skills in innovation, leadership, and teamwork Utilize the principles of Design Thinking in real-world projects Apply for funding to support your project Travel globally and advance your goals Collaborate with your peers in a makerspace with cutting-edge technologies and tools Participate in field trips and retreats Develop expertise in your area of study with guidance from mentors Take on leadership and project roles in the Knowledge Park Attend special workshops, events, and programs Conduct research through our Institutes Innovate your education Work side by side with proven leaders CONTACT US ENGAGED SCHOLARS CENTER FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Dominic DelliCarpini, Ph.D., Dean Campus: Humanities Center, Room 29 Downtown: Center for Community Engagement 59 E.
