The Lycoming County Counselors Association and Lycoming College invite area high school students to attend “College Night” on Thursday, Sept. 20, from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. in the Keiper Recreation Center on the College’s campus. The event, organized and hosted by the Lycoming County Counselors Association (LCCA), offers high school students the chance to speak with representatives from 70 colleges and universities. This annual event is free and open to the public.
Representatives from each school will be available to discuss the program offerings, internships, scholarships, and research opportunities offered at their institutions.
“In this day of the internet being used as a main source for gathering information, face-to-face interactions are occurring less frequently,” said Ronda Albert, counselor at Montoursville Area High School and president of the LCCA. “College Night at Lycoming College offers students and parents the opportunity to have these very important personal interactions with representatives from many different colleges and universities.”
In addition, a presentation on financial aid will be given at 7 p.m. in room FA107 of the Fine Arts Building by Jim Lakis, director of financial aid at Lycoming College, and Ashley Murphy, associate dean of admissions and financial aid at Penn College.
“It’s always a pleasure to serve as the host location for this event,” said Mike Konopski, vice president for enrollment management at Lycoming College. “This is a wonderful opportunity for local college-bound students to connect in person with a variety of colleges and universities. The event also offers local high school and potential transfer students the chance to set foot on our beautiful campus and talk directly with admissions and current Lycoming students.”
