2019 FALL LYCOMING COLLEGE MAGAZINE

AP English students from Montgomery Area High School visited Snowden Library where instructional services librarians Emily Hardesty and Mary Broussard led a tour of the physical library collection and demonstrated how to use its databases. “Our students talked about the presentation and the research process during lunch and on the way home. They found it helpful for the essay in my class, but, more importantly, they found it eye-opening for what they need to expect next year in college,” said their teacher, Paul Bozella. As part of its strategic goals, Lycoming College aims to soften its campus borders and encourage faculty and students to get off campus while also inviting community members onto campus. These are just a few of many examples from the past year of how the College is making a difference in the community through educational outreach. Lycoming international students from Mauritius in East Africa visited Stevens Primary School in the Williamsport Area School District to share about their country and read some favorite childhood stories, exposing the students to a new culture and different languages. “Attending Stevens Elementary opened my eyes to primary school in the United States. I was impressed by how welcoming and attentive the students were, and their eagerness to learn new languages,” said Shania Appadoo ’22. The Clean Water Institute (CWI) took part in the Middle Susquehanna River Keeper’s floating classroom program aboard the Hiawatha Paddlewheel Riverboat, presenting a workshop focused on water quality of the West Branch Susquehanna River and requesting that community participants bring a water sample from their local stream or creek for testing. “I’m grateful to be able to work with the CWI because of opportunities like this. I really enjoy fostering the kids’ interest in science,” shared Brooke Millisock ’20. 20 LYCOMING COLLEGE 2019 FALL MAGAZINE
