2018 FALL LC MAGAZINE

ycoming College is grateful to our loyal donors for supporting initiatives that assist in offering an outstanding and affordable education for our students. On April 22, 2018, Lycoming hosted its annual Scholarship Day Luncheon in Pennington Lounge. The event provides students and their families time to celebrate with scholarship donors and express appreciation for the opportunities their generosity has provided — fueling a new generation of Warriors. Scholarship recipients Melissa Bilza ’19 and Benjamin Conrad ’19 addressed the audience and shared their experiences at Lycoming and how receiving scholarship assistance is beneficial to their educational journey. Bilza is a music and corporate communications double major with a minor in business administration. Conrad is a religion major with a biblical languages minor. Both are Lycoming Scholars. Keynote speaker Frank Kindler ’77, former president of Planet Fitness Central PA, spoke about why he is a proud supporter of Lycoming. Kindler, who studied business administration and economics, was an exemplary student-athlete who learned the skills of leadership, hard work, and dedication through his experiences in the classroom and on the football field at Lycoming. Throughout his successful career, as a business owner and long-time high school head football coach, he used the skills he honed and developed at Lycoming to impact his community. In 2016, he established the John “Jack” Hollenback Endowed Scholarship in honor of Professor Hollenback ’47.
