Lancaster Times is a monthly publication created by students in The College Experience featuring articles of all genres of writing. The name was derived by the location of our first dorm, Lancaster Street. Based on writing lessons and direct instruction, students learn to draft and edit an article, poem or interview that will become part of the monthly publication. The content is student-driven and based on events occurring at The College and within the Program. Students greatly improve their writing skills from sentence structure, grammar, punctuation and word usage. Students experience the process of putting together a newsletter, including selecting articles, choosing pictures to accompany the articles and determining layout. The publication is distributed each month to families and friends throughout the world.

What comes after graduation? Many College Experience students, in fact most, choose to remain in Albany. They maintain friendships with their fellow and former graduates, form romantic partnerships, and some get married.
