First-year students and parents are welcomed to the campus during the early part of the summer for New Student Orientation. This gives students the chance to become familiar with the campus before the arrival of the upperclassmen in the fall. Students choose their courses for the following semester and establish lasting friendships with their classmates. Some even meet a friend whom they can request to be their roommate for the fall. Lycoming also realizes that first-year students have special academic needs.
College is a whole new lifestyle as well as a way of learning.
Our Dean for Freshmen assists students with their academic experiences before and during that first year. As a parent, you ll be able to take part in your son s or daughter s first year by visiting the campus on Family Weekend, held every year in the fall. By attending classes, you ll have the chance to get to know your son s or daughter s professors. The President s Forum gives you the opportunity to meet the President along with all of the Deans and ask them questions. Back To Top 18.
