CLASS OF 2011

As a student at Lycoming College,  "you will be encouraged to develop and strengthen virtues and traits of character that enable, ennoble, and emancipate the human spirit." Through internships, practica, workstudy, and co-curricular experiences you will have many opportunities to learn leadership skills, test career options, address social problems, and develop civic responsibility. To this end, as you begin your freshman experience, you will be asked to participate in one of the following community service projects. It is our hope that in so doing, you and your classmates will heighten your awareness of yourself, your classmates, and the community of Williamsport. While you will be giving freely of your time and energy, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped others who are less fortunate. You should also know that you are continuing a long tradition of freshman participation in service-learning and that this participation was recently recognized on a national level when Lycoming College was awarded the Templeton Award for Character.

Please understand that it is a LYCOMING COLLEGE REQUIREMENT FOR ALL FRESHMEN to make a commitment to a service project. Please also understand that you are also making a commitment to the people of Lycoming County.  Last year the Class of 2010 volunteered over 1200 hours of their time, including following community service projects!
