Order of the Engineer Ceremony
2022-03-30 17:45 - 19:30
The York College of Pennsylvania Engineering Programs will be holding their first Order of the Engineer Induction Ceremony on Wednesday evening March 30th. We’d like to invite you to join us!
The Order is not a membership organization; there are never any meetings to attend or dues to pay. Instead, the Order fosters a unity of purpose and the honoring of one’s pledge lifelong. The Obligation (http://order-of-the-engineer.org/about-the-order/obligation/) is a creed similar to the oath attributed to Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.) that is generally taken by medical graduates and which sets forth an ethical code. The Obligation likewise, contains parts of the Canon of Ethics of major engineering societies. Initiates, as they accept it voluntarily, pledge to uphold the standards and dignity of the engineering profession and to serve humanity by making the best use of Earth’s precious wealth. More about the Order’s history can be found at http://order-of-the-engineer.org/about-the-order/history/.
As part of the Ceremony initiates receive a stainless-steel ring (worn on the fifth finger of their working hand), a certificate, and pocket card. We will be holding the ceremony in the Waldner Performing Arts Center (WPAC) on the main campus of York College starting with a social time with cookies and dessert bars, starting at 5:45 and the ceremony itself will begin at 6:30 PM.
If you are interested in participating in the ceremony please RSVP to Dr. Scott Hamilton (shamilton@ycp.edu) that you will be attending. We ask that you bring a check made out to York College of Pennsylvania for $15 to cover the cost of the ring, certificate and pocket card. If you know your ring size, please include that, or we will have sizers available prior to the ceremony and will get a ring to you at a later date after the ceremony. if we don’t have a ring in your size on hand.

Tour of Yorktowne Hotel
2021-03-22 17:00 - 18:30 | 48 E Market St, York, PA 17401, 48 E Market St, York, PA, 17401, United States
Built in 1925 in the Renaissance Revival style, the 11-story Yorktowne Hotel was designed and constructed to be the cornerstone of hospitality in downtown York during a time of significant growth for the city. The hotel’s success warranted several expansions through the 1950’s. And over the following decades, The Yorktowne would undergo several renovations but eventually fall victim to deferred maintenance and neglect. In 2016, concerned about the worsening condition of the building and the underutilization of space, the York County Industrial Development Authority (YCIDA), which champions redevelopment projects in York County, purchased the hotel to restore it to its former glory and boost the city’s revitalization efforts.

Currently under construction, the highly anticipated and re-envisioned Yorktowne will reopen in 2022 under the Tapestry Collection by Hilton brand. When complete, it will have a new grand entrance, 123 modernized guest rooms, a rooftop event space, a full-service restaurant and café, an improved lobby area, and a completely restored grand ballroom. Join us in March for a tour of the project.

Due to the ongoing restrictions associated with gatherings and COVID-19, registration will be capped at a total of 25 people for this event. While this event is FREE to all members and guests, we will NOT be gathering for our social event after the meeting and dinner will NOT be offered.

Remember to bring your mask and observe social distancing recommendations at all times.

Parking is available at the Market Street garage.
Meet under the Yorktowne canopy.
No heels or open-toed shoes.
