In each issue of YVC Voice, we share images highlighting the beauty of Yakima Valley College’s campuses in our “Campus Scapes” gallery. Above, YVC's clocktower is seen through snow covered branches. We welcome photo submissions from our entire community for consideration. If you have a photo you’d like to submit for “Campus Scapes,” please email the image to communityrelations@yvcc.edu and include your name, affiliation with YVC (e.g., current student, alumnus), and date the photo was taken.
