through academic-embedded career advising The CEAE’s success is possible because of Lycoming’s commitment to providing our students with these opportunities, the strong partnerships we’ve created with businesses, and the guidance of our exceptional faculty. This collective effort offers our students wellrounded experiences that prepare them for successful careers.” Lori Patterson, M.Ed. Director of Career and Professional Development The CEAE has increased the number of enhanced academic experiences — particularly summer options — for students across the full academic spectrum. In addition to partnering with the pre-existing Clean Water Institute and the department of chemistry’s Endowed Summer Research Fellow programs, the CEAE built the Williamsport Internship Summer Experience (WISE) program that provides paid summer internships and on-campus housing. “With the region's close variety of businesses, non-profit organizations, and wide array of federal, county, and city government offices, the career advising team partners with more than 75 local sites to provide funded internships for an average of 21 students per summer through the WISE program,” says Anne Landon, associate director for career advising. The CEAE also partners with the provost’s office in overseeing the summer student-faculty research collaborations through the Haberberger and Gaul Research Scholars programs. On average, 85 students complete an internship or student-faculty research collaboration each summer at either on- or off-campus locations, and the majority of these enhanced academic experiences are paid opportunities. While the pandemic has disrupted the global education industry, the CEAE’s Office of Global Education looks forward to returning to its pre-pandemic support of an annual average of 100 students completing study abroad and faculty-led travel programs. 11 www.lycoming.edu
