As Lycoming County high school students begin to register for spring semester classes at Lycoming College through Early Warrior Dual Enrollment, the program is getting a $20,000 contribution from C&N.
C&N is committed to investing in local educational programs to champion a strong and prosperous community by creating more opportunities for children to thrive. The bank’s generous gift was made through the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC), which offers businesses a credit to lower their tax liability through donations to educational enrichment initiatives such as Lycoming’s dual enrollment program.
“When the opportunity to take dual enrollment classes at a prestigious liberal arts college came up, I knew it was perfect for me. Combined with credits I earned through AP testing, I plan to graduate with my bachelor’s degree in just three years.”
Entering its second semester in Spring 2025, the Early Warrior Dual Enrollment program at Lycoming College welcomes local high school juniors and seniors to earn college credits while still in high school. And by getting a jumpstart on their college careers, students may be able to earn a college degree faster and save money on the total cost of a college degree.
“When the opportunity to take dual enrollment classes at a prestigious liberal arts college came up, I knew it was perfect for me. Combined with credits I earned through AP testing, I plan to graduate with my bachelor’s degree in just three years,” said Normandy Broaddus, dual-enrollment student at Lycoming College. “I have been able to see what classes, education, and the environment will be like in college, and to be honest, it’s better than expected! Lycoming College is definitely on the list of schools I am applying to after high school.”
Course enrollment runs from Nov. 11 through mid-December. Lycoming is offering spring semester STEM-related courses in biology and math, as well as courses in psychology, economics, English composition, political science, music, and theatre. Language courses include Spanish, French, German, and Latin. A full list can be found at www.lycoming.edu/dualenrollment.
“At C&N, supporting education in our community is a cornerstone of our mission, and we are honored to partner with Lycoming College and their Early Warrior Dual Enrollment program,” said Rachael Clark ’08, C&N’s vice president and regional market leader. “We recognize the importance of empowering young people with the resources they need to succeed and building a brighter future for them and for our entire community. Together, we’re investing in opportunity, growth, and a vibrant future.”
“We’re grateful to C&N for this gift that will benefit many local high school students and serve as a catalyst for Lycoming’s ability to expand access for students in our community,” said Chip Edmonds, executive vice president at Lycoming College. “We’re proud to be able to offer curricular enrichment that gives them the ability to learn alongside terrific students and from first-rate Lycoming College faculty members that will prepare them exceptionally well for their educational careers after high school.”
“As the faculty advisor for the Early Warrior program, I have one-on-one relationships with the high school students taking classes at Lycoming College, and I can say first-hand that this program is having a direct and positive impact on each enrolled student,” said Amy Rogers, professor of education at Lycoming College. “They are traveling to campus for classes, learning and working alongside college students, and being more thoughtful about their futures following high school graduation. They will continue to benefit from the Early Warrior Dual Enrollment program for years to come.”
Early Warrior Dual Enrollment for Spring 2025 begins Nov. 11 and runs through Dec. 9. Contact admissions@lycoming.edu for more information.
C&N previously directed EITC funds to the Waterdale Environmental Education Center, bringing their EITC contributions to the College to $29,500 to date.
