n recent months, Lycoming College has received news of rankings and accolades that affirm the College’s place among the best liberal arts colleges in the nation. We moved up to No. 111 in the U.S. News and World Report rankings 2022-23 — our highest ever ranking and up from No. 164 in 2016. We were also named to Princeton Review’s Best Value 200 among all colleges and universities. Finally, we were invited and joined the Annapolis Group, a higher education membership group composed of the nation’s leading liberal arts colleges. I am also pleased to report that real progress has been made with the Old City Williamsport Project located along Basin Street. As you will recall, this project represents another major step toward the transformation of the area to the south of campus into a livable, walkable neighborhood. The board of trustees approved two operating agreements that create LLCs with the College and Pine Ridge Construction Management as members, and the LLCs will oversee the construction of two building complexes. This project is a significant moment in the history of the College, the City of Williamsport, and Lycoming County, and it demonstrates the power of partnerships in bringing about transformational change. 111 200 No. Named one of the best Tier 1 National Liberal Arts & Sciences Institutions by 2022-23 U.S. News & World Report among all colleges and universities BEST VALUE From Presiden the I 2 LYCOMING COLLEGE 2022 PRESIDENT’S REPORT/FALL MAGAZINE
