7. Catalog 2021-2022 Final with Corrections THE MISSION The mission of Lycoming College is to provide a distinguished baccalaureate education in the liberal arts and sciences within a coeducational, supportive, residential setting. GUIDING PRINCIPLES Lycoming College is committed to the principle that a liberal arts education provides an excellent foundation for an informed and productive life. Consequently, the Baccalaureate degree (Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science) is conferred upon the student who has completed an educational program incorporating the two principles of a liberal arts education known as distribution and concentration. The objective of the distribution principle is to ensure that the student achieves intellectual breadth through the study of the arts, humanities, mathematics, natural and social sciences, and modern or ancient languages and their literatures. The objective of the concentration principle is to provide depth of learning through completion of a program of study in a given discipline or subject area known as the major. The effect of both principles is to impart knowledge, inspire inquiry, and encourage creative thought. Lycoming College promotes individual growth and community development through a combination of academic and co-curricular programs in a supportive residential environment that seeks to foster self-awareness, model social responsibility, and provide opportunities to develop leadership skills. Students are encouraged to explore new concepts and perspectives, to cultivate an aesthetic sensibility, and to develop communication and critical thinking skills. The college is committed to promoting racial inclusiveness, gender equality, and an appreciation of cultural diversity. Through a holistic approach, Lycoming College encourages students to become ethical, informed, and engaged individuals. EXPECTED STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Institutional Expected Student Learning Outcomes Upon graduation, a Lycoming College graduate will • have achieved depth of learning in at least one field of study • have demonstrated intellectual breadth through the study of the arts, humanities, mathematics, natural and social sciences, and modern or ancient languages • have enriched his/her education through the completion of one or more enhanced academic experiences • understand cultural diversity • be able to communicate effectively in both written and oral forms • be able to think critically • have demonstrated information literacy skills and technological competence appropriate for his/her discipline 1 Expected Student Learning Outcomes for Individual Programs The learning goals for each program are found at https://www.lycoming.edu/learning-goals/ . THE BACCALAUREATE DEGREE Lycoming College is committed to the principle that a liberal arts and sciences education is the ideal foundation for an informed and productive life. The liberal arts—including the fine arts, the humanities, mathematics, the natural and social sciences—have created the social, political, economic, and intellectual systems that help define contemporary existence. Therefore, it is essential that students grasp the modes of inquiry and knowledge associated with these disciplines. Consequently, the baccalaureate degree (Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science) is conferred upon the student who has completed an educational program incorporating the three facets of the liberal arts known as General Education, the major, and electives. Students will complete approximately one-third of their work in each of these areas. The objective of the General Education Program is to ensure that the student achieves breadth in learning through the study of the major dimensions of human inquiry: math and languages, arts and humanities, social and natural sciences. The objective of the major is to provide depth of learning through completion of a program of focused study in a given discipline or subject area. Elective study affords students the opportunity to develop secondary interests, work in areas complementary to their primary discipline, or explore new fields of study. The combined effect of General Education courses, concentrated study in the major, and electives is to impart knowledge, inspire inquiry, and encourage creative thought. The program enables students to think critically, judge rationally, communicate effectively, and develop an awareness of the diversity of cultures and an enthusiasm for learning that will last throughout their lives.

As a result of the upgraded amenities and experience the Independence Visitor Center Gift Shop, tickets sales and visitor services have continued to flourish supporting an annual increase of earned revenue for the IVCC.

The IVCC is now positioned with satellite touchpoints offering visitor services throughout Center City as far west as Love Park (this newly constructed location will be completed in 2020), and extending east with the City Hall Visitor Center, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Fashion District Philadelphia, and the Independence Visitor Center. The Philly PHLASH® Downtown Loop also celebrated 25 years of service this year. IVCC acquired the PHLASH eight years ago. The popularity of the PHLASH has grown with Philadelphia’s tourism trends, the consistency of brand awareness, and the easy, inexpensive, and convenient option helps to deliver more than 360,000 riders annually to the city’s top attractions, cultural institutions, programs and events. IVCC is poised to enter 2020 with a robust foundation to offer superior visitor services in a state-of-the-art upgraded Visitor Center in Independence National Historical Park and throughout Center City.

  • New Castle County Transit Service
    January 2017 CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT FOR SOUTHERN CHESTER COUNTY—NEW CASTLE COUNTY Transit Service The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission is dedicated to uniting the region’s elected officials, planning professionals, and the public with a common vision of making a great region even greater. Shaping the way we live, work, and play, DVRPC builds consensus on improving transportation, promoting smart growth, protecting the environment, and enhancing the economy. We serve a diverse region of nine counties: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer in New Jersey. DVRPC is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Greater Philadelphia Region — leading the way to a better future. The symbol in our logo is adapted from the official DVRPC seal and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. DVRPC is funded by a variety of funding sources including federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments of transportation, as well as by DVRPC’s state and local member governments. The authors, however, are solely responsible for the findings and conclusions herein, which may not represent the official views or policies of the funding agencies. The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) fully complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, Executive Order 12898 on Environmental Justice, and related nondiscrimination statutes and regulations in all programs and activities.
