2019 LYCOMING COLLEGE LC MAGAZINE SPRING

n October 2016, Lycoming College launched The Campaign for a Greater Lycoming. With a goal of raising at least $65 million, the College embarked on its most ambitious campaign in history with the purpose of securing resources that would ensure the recruitment and retention of talented students, the creation of new academic programs and initiatives to deliver a 21st-century liberal arts and sciences education, and a renewed investment in the physical campus while deepening the connections with the City of Williamsport. Lycoming was pleased to raise $12.6 million in support of the Campaign during the 2017-18 fiscal year, bringing the overall support for the Campaign to $63,907,491 as of June 30, 2018. We then challenged our alumni and friends to reach even greater heights during this final year of the Campaign to surpass our initial goal of $65 million and raise an additional $5 million to provide funding toward endowed scholarships, the creation of a new academic program in data science and analytics, and the creation of an innovation center for the entrepreneurship minor and lab space for the biochemistry major. To date, more than 6,655 alumni — 56 percent of all living alumni — have donated to the Campaign, and there is still time to participate.
