LYCOMING COLLEGE 2014 FALL MAGAZINE
This new interactive and multi-curricular facility will
not only serve Lycoming’s students and faculty, but also
benefit the greater Williamsport community as the college is
developing learning and discovery programs in collaboration
with the area’s school districts.
The facility will be named in honor of Board Chair Peter
Lynn ’69 and his wife, Joyce, who made this project possible
through their leadership gift. A second lead gift from Trustees
Jay Cleveland Sr. and Jay Cleveland Jr. ’88 and their wives,
Sandy and Mary, will name the Cleveland Atrium—the largest
interior space where students and the community will learn
and gather. With the support of the board of trustees and
the efforts of president emeritus James Douthat, who played
a major role in conceptualizing the center before retiring in
2013, the Lynn Science Center will be a great hallmark on the
Lycoming College campus for a lifetime.

Four chemistry
students will present
their work at the
annual University of
Maryland at Baltimore
County poster session
in October.
Six chemistry
students did research
off-campus, in projects
ranging from National
Science Foundation-
sponsored programs at Berkeley
and Michigan, to medical research
at Geisinger and the Canary Islands,
to research in industry at
Avery-Dennison and Norwich
Pharmaceutical.
Land that once served as a parking lot has been excavated, and will
serve as a hub for learning. Impact of the construction on the campus
and the surrounding community has been minimal. Once digging was
completed and gas lines were relocated, foundation and walls began to
quickly rise. Construction is expected to be completed by fall 2015.
We are especially interested in education
in the sciences, technology, engineering
and mathematics. We are honored to be
able to provide support for the construction
of the new science building.
