Registration will begin at 9:30 A.M. in Pennington Lounge in the Academic Center. Students will then be able to choose three out of six informational sessions to attend. Five of the sessions, include "Choosing a Health Profession," "Clean Air, Clean Water, and the Environment," "Biology: A World of Possibilities," Chemistry: The Central Science," and "Astronomy and Physics: The Final Frontier," all deal with choosing a career based on the various science majors. The Final session, "The Out of Classroom Experience," is a program hosted by current Lycoming College science majors who will explain all the opportunities available to Lycoming students for internships, independent studies, and research projects.

Science Saturday will also feature specialized tours of the science facilities, including a look at current student research projects, tours of the chemistry and biology labs, and a look at the planetarium. In addition students and their families will receive a general tour of campus and lunch. There will also be general sessions concerning financial aid, admission requirements, meals and housing, and much more.

This year, prospective students will also be able to attend an alumni panel, featuring Lycoming graduates who have excelled in their science careers. The panel will offer students the opportunity to ask Lycoming graduates about careers and options in the various fields of science.

"Many students interested in the sciences really want to compare the science programs at different schools. Lycoming has wonderful facilities that are on par with graduate schools, and Science Saturday is a great day for our science program to shine," said Adrianna Kuckla, an admissions counselor and graduate of Lycoming College.

Lycoming College is a private four-year liberal arts college located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The Carnegie Foundation has rated Lycoming as a national liberal arts college.
