The Little League World Series is officially here! ⚾🌎
 
Last night, we kicked off one of Williamsport’s favorite traditions at the Grand Slam Parade, proudly sponsoring the Team Mexico float! 🇲🇽 Lycoming baseball and softball players joined President Edmonds, coaches, and staff to welcome teams from around the world and share some Warrior spirit along the parade route.
 
And as the games get underway, keep an eye out for Lycoming Baseball volunteering in the concession stands. Stop by, say hello, and you might even score a Lycoming College pin!
 
We’re proud to be part of the excitement happening right here in our hometown. Good luck to all the teams competing in this year’s !

Sound on for a little campus calm. 🔔

Every day at 12:39 p.m., the 25-bell carillon in Clarke Chapel plays Lycoming’s alma mater. And yes, the time has meaning: 12 for our 1812 founding and 39 for the Chapel’s dedication in 1939.

There is much more to the sports industry than what happens on the field.

Beginning in fall 2026, Lycoming College’s new sport management major will prepare students for the work behind the game, from marketing and front-office operations to college athletics, community recreation, and nonprofit programming.

Students will explore the business, culture, data, leadership, and psychology of sports while building experience through internships, practicums, faculty-guided research, service-learning, and study abroad. The flexible program can also be paired with a minor or second major, allowing students to shape a path around their own interests and career goals.

Whether they want to manage teams, build brands, lead athletic programs, or expand access to sports in their communities, graduates will be ready to make an impact across the industry.
