Breaking Barriers. Building Solutions.
A hub for interdisciplinary exploration and ingenuity, the Graham Center for Collaborative Innovation (GCCI) at York College of Pennsylvania is a dynamic resource for students, faculty, industry leaders, and community partners. Here, collaboration knows no bounds—projects and programs break through traditional academic fields, industries, and sectors.
The mission is clear: to support and empower individuals and organizations as they partner to explore creative solutions to today’s challenges and move bold ideas from concept to implementation. A catalyst for change, the center invites collaborators to step beyond their areas of expertise and embrace new perspectives—because when ideas intersect, innovation has no limit.
