Family Weekend is a great time for family and friends to visit students on campus. Join your student in the classroom and enjoy lunch in the cafeteria. Cheer on the football team, attend a Lycoming College Choir concert, stroll through the quad, take a walking tour of downtown Williamsport, relax on a paddlewheel boat ride down the beautiful Susquehanna River, enjoy live family-friendly entertainment, or watch a family movie on campus. We look forward to having you join us!
The Family Weekend brochure and registration form will be mailed to students' home by early August. Please call 570-321-4376 if you have questions about the weekend.
