• Why Lycoming?: My father attended Lycoming College and had always spoken highly of his experiences here. Directly after high school, I attended another institution, when I realized Lycoming College was actually the best fit for me as well! After graduation, I lived in numerous places including Boston, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia. I heard that there was a position available in admissions, and the idea of being back in the Lycoming College community was very exciting! I feel incredibly fortunate to be at such a wonderful place!
