YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. — During our period of social silence, we have been listening intently to your feedback. Many members of our team are brainstorming ways that Young Harris College can better implement our commitments to diversity, inclusion, equality and justice in areas including our academic curriculum and campus culture. Once our full campus community is back together, we will offer facilitated listening sessions to gather input from students, faculty, staff and administration. Additionally, we plan to offer similar listening sessions in a virtual format to gather input from our alumni. From there, we plan to create an action plan that incorporates recommendations from all stakeholder groups. If you wish to share your thoughts with us prior to the listening sessions, you may do so through direct message or by emailing us at [email protected]. By using these options, your input will be directed to the appropriate YHC contacts. While positive, sustainable change doesn’t happen overnight, we are committed to listening and taking the necessary steps to create a more equitable, just and caring campus community. Thank you for taking this journey with us.
