    Yavapai CollegePrescott AZ (March 25, 2020) – The Yavapai College Foundation has partnered with Arizona Gives Day to boost the college’s ability to provide emergency grants to students at risk of faltering in their educational journeys because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. 

    Arizona Gives Day, an online fundraising initiative on Tuesday, April 7, 2020, brings together Arizonans  from across the state to raise awareness and financial support for nonprofit organizations statewide.  

    YC’s Student Emergency Fund has helped dozens of students help pay car repairs, childcare, rent and other bills since its inception. The COVID-19 virus has eliminated jobs and created other financial constraints for students, said YC Foundation Executive Director Paul Kirchgraber. “Not surprisingly, the pandemic has placed a great demand on our emergency fund and we’re hoping our partnership with Arizona Gives Day will ensure we can continue to meet our students’ emergency financial needs,” he said. 

    The YCF will direct all donations received from generous community members via Arizona Gives Day to the student emergency fund. Early giving for Arizona Gives Day is now underway. Donors can find the Yavapai College Foundation easily on the Arizona Gives Day website, www.AZGIVES.ORG/yavapaicollegefoundation. Contributions to AZGIVES.ORG and the YC Student Emergency Fund also can be made on the college’s website here: www.yc.edu/workplacegiving

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
