College is a big step for students and their families. 💜

That’s why Family Weekend is more than a visit back to campus. It’s a chance to cheer at a game, enjoy campus traditions, explore the Enchanted Valley, and see everything your student has started building since Move-In.

Mark your calendars for September 25–27. We can’t wait to welcome you back.

College is a lot more fun when you know the people around you. 🙌That’s what a close-knit campus is all about.

Last Sunday, the chapel was filled with love, laughter, memories, and generations of the Young Harris College family as we gathered for a surprise party to celebrate Rev. Whitley’s 80th birthday. Hosted by his wonderful wife, Meg, the celebration brought together alumni, former faculty and staff, friends, and members of the YHC community. 🎉💙

A proud member of the Class of 1966, Rev. Whitley served as Young Harris College’s campus chaplain for many years, touching countless hearts and leaving a lasting impact on generations of students, faculty, and staff. His ministry, kindness, and dedication have made him a treasured part of the YHC family.

It was a joy to see so many generations come together to honor a man who has given so much to our college and community.

Happy 80th Birthday, Rev. Whitley! We are so grateful for you and the many lives you have touched. 🎂💙
