Celebrating a legacy of giving cultivating a legacy of scholarship

In lieu of a Fall/Winter edition of Echoes, Young Harris College wants to share this special giving publication with you to kick off our 135th anniversary year. 

As the official magazine of Young Harris College, Echoes is devoted to sharing news and information with the students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and friends of our College community. Links to our current edition and select past issues are below.

Young Harris College produces several unique and engaging publications each year. Echoes is the College's official magazine and Communique is the Friends of the Arts newsletter. YHC also has student publications, including the literary magazine Artemas.

YHC's Board of Trustees provides strategic leadership to the College by employing its members' expertise in everything from finance to philanthropy.

Thank you so much for your gift. To achieve our mission, we depend on the generous support of individuals like you. We are grateful for your generosity and hope you take great pride in the important difference that your gift makes in the lives of our students.
