Yavapai College is expanding opportunities for creative students with the launch of a new Bachelor of Design degree beginning in Fall 2026. The three-year program will focus on visual design and prepare students for careers in a growing field that reaches far beyond traditional graphic design. Students will gain hands-on experience in areas such as branding, packaging, web design, user interface design, and digital product development.

In this episode of YC and You, host Michael Grady sits down with Lynn Durkee, Program Director of Yavapai College’s longstanding Literary Southwest series.

Lynn shares how the program brings nationally recognized authors to Yavapai County, creates meaningful interactions between writers and readers, and fosters a vibrant literary community.

They explore upcoming events—including the April 3 visit from graphic nonfiction author Nora Krug, whose book Diaries of War offers powerful civilian perspectives on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Lynn also reflects on past highlights, collaborations with Writers Read, and why books—and conversations about them—remain essential.
