Dr. Pamela Gunter-Smith became the first woman and the first African-American to serve as the president of York College of Pennsylvania on July 1, 2013. She will retire from the College in June 2023.
Gunter-Smith came to York College after leadership roles at Drew University, Spelman College, and the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute. At York, she championed an education that integrates career preparation with a strong foundation in the liberal arts. She also advanced programs that serve the greater York community while providing experiential learning for students and developed a focus on entrepreneurship and innovation through both academic programs and outside-the-classroom experiences. President Gunter-Smith also worked to ensure this high-quality educational experience focused on career-readiness is accessible to all.
“I am looking forward to retirement, and I believe I am leaving York College at a time of increasing strength and stability,” Gunter-Smith said.
