York College in York, Nebraska announced on September 23, 2021 that it will become York University. Dr. Sam Smith (’95) shared the news during his inauguration as the institution’s 21st president.
Founded in 1890, York College has been affiliated with the Churches of Christ since 1956.
The institution was previously affiliated since its founding with the United Brethren. However, in 1946, a merger with the Evangelical Church resulted in control passing to the newly-formed Evangelical United Brethren (EUB) Church. In 1954, that body decided to transfer its support to another EUB institution, Westmar University in LeMars, Iowa, at the end of the summer term, July 1, 1954.
