As the first female president of Elizabethtown College, Cecilia M. McCormick, J.D. is transforming the 120-plus-old institution located in Elizabethtown, Lancaster County. A first-generation college and law school graduate, she has led the institution to welcome its largest incoming classes in nearly a decade for two consecutive years in a row.
“It is an exciting time for Elizabethtown College,” says President McCormick. “While remaining grounded in our tradition of developing students to think critically, analyze deeply and communicate effectively, we are expanding our academic offerings to include relevant and high-demand fields such as a five-year Physician Assistant program, Exercise Science, Public Health, Data Science, and Social Media and Media Analytics.”
With 92-percent of graduates identifying at least one faculty who made them excited about learning, McCormick shares the College’s success starts with its students.
“At Etown, we prioritize student-research, champion service, and focus on building a student-centered culture. Our students are engaged in high-impact experiences to help them live their best life, and our faculty are empowered with the resources to shape a new generation of leaders who will confidently serve the world.”
