    2016 - Making strong colleges Stronger Through collaboration Annual Report: 2015 Report: Annual WELCOME FROM THE LVAIC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges (LVAIC) exists to advance collaboration across our member institutions and we aspire to hear them report that they are each stronger and more distinctive due in part to the benefits they achieve through this collaboration. Our activities, focused on our strategic priorities of professional excellence, programmatic sharing and synergy, and operating efficiencies, provide expanded and enhanced opportunities for faculty, staff, and students and free resources to support campus-specific programs. Much of our work this year has been directed at strengthening the foundation for future collaborations. For LVAIC, the foundation is the culture of collaboration that exists across our community. True collaboration can be hard, scary work. It almost always involves change – either doing something old differently or doing a new and different thing. The foundation of collaboration is rooted in strong communications and resilient relationships that foster trust and an environment supportive of the risks change brings. Much of what we report this year is about our activity to strengthen this culture. We are pleased to report on the numbers of faculty, staff, and students participating in LVAIC programs and activities. We believe these numbers are indicators of the value they are finding in this collaborative community. As we write this report, the LVAIC community is beginning the new academic year. We look forward to continuing to build our culture of collaboration and to take our collaborative efforts to a higher level in this next year.

  • Cedar Crest College and Muhlenberg College
    Cedar Crest College and Muhlenberg College (Submitted by Ms. Talotta) In early November, I had the opportunity to travel about two hours West of Bergen County to visit two Pennsylvania colleges – one that is fairly well-known to Highlanders and another one, lesser known. The latter -- Cedar Crest Col- lege -- is a small liberal arts college in the Lehigh Valley, and it impressed me with its warmth and genuine personal attention to its students. On my way to the admissions office, I met two students on their way to morning classes. Asking what they thought about their college, both told me how they felt tremendous support by their college, and they really appreciated the “Four-Year Guarantee.” I learned that Cedar Crest guarantees its students to graduate within four years because of the hands-on support it provides. The students felt this support, and after meeting with the college representatives , I knew the college was sincere in this promise of support, as well. Cedar Crest is an all- women’s college of about 1,500 students in Allentown (65 miles from Philadelphia and 92 miles from NYC), and cele- brating its 150th anniversary with a founding date of 1867. It is best known for its nursing program and nuclear medi- cine program, which are actually co-ed because of their popularity and need for graduates in these fields. Generally, the college looks for about a 1,000 on SATs and a 3.0 GPA or higher. The school also offers many 4+1 programs, allow- ing students to earn a Masters in one additional year after graduation.
