A unanimous vote cast by the Young Harris College board of trustees on Friday, April 27, 2007 is the first step in a new and exciting future for a 121-year-old institution of higher education. Long recognized as a quality, two-year college, Young Harris will begin the process of a transition to baccalaureate granting status. Board Chairman Paul D. Beckham ‘63 stated, “It is important that Young Harris College offer an experience reflecting the modern demands made on today’s young people, but at the same time surround them with a traditional college atmosphere that is rich in relationships with other students, faculty members and administrators. This vote by the trustees sets the course to accomplish this goal.”
