THE COLLEGE IS ACCREDITED BY THE MIDDLE STATES COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION.THE VISION OF A WOMEN'S COLLEGE IN ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, CAME FIRST THROUGH THE FATHERS OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST, WHO, IN 1867, ESTABLISHED A PROGRAM FOR THEIR DAUGHTERS TO ACHIEVE EDUCATION BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL. THE VISION WAS THEN SUPPORTED MORE THAN 100 YEARS LATER WHEN THE COLLEGE ALUMNAE CAME FORWARD WITH PASSION AND MIGHT TO DERAIL A POTENTIAL MERGER WITH A CO-ED COLLEGE.CEDAR CREST HAS BEEN A PLACE WHERE STUDENTS DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS. THROUGH ACADEMIC COURSES, STUDENT-LIFE PROGRAMMING, ATHLETICS, ACTIVITIES, AND PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES, THE COLLEGE HAS BEEN A PLACE TO GROW STUDENTS INTO LEADERS. THE WOMEN'S COLLEGE STATUS HAS ENSURED THAT STUDENTS HAVE MORE LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, MORE OF A CHANCE TO TRULY PRACTICE LEADERSHIP, AND A GREATER EXPECTATION OF LEADING PLACED UPON THEM BY FACULTY AND STAFF. IT HAS BEEN LEADERSHIP BY ABSORPTION IN SOME WAYS, AND IT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL. THE COLLEGE REMAINS PASSIONATE ABOUT ITS MISSION AND IS FOCUSED ON ITS FUTURE. IN THE FALL OF 2021, THE COLLEGE LAUNCED ITS NEWEST DOCTORAL PROGRAM IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY. THIS PROGRAM IS THE FIRST PROGRAM IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND ENROLLED STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY. OUTFITTED WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART SIMULATION THROUGH AN ANATOMAGE TABLE, NEW PEDIATRIC AND LIFE SKILLS LABORATORIES ONSITE, THE STUDENTS IN THIS PROGRAM WILL ALSO RECEIVE CLINICAL EXPERIENCES THROUGHOUT THE REGION. INVESTMENT OF RESOURCES IN INSTRUCTION AND STUDENT SERVICES REMAIN A HIGH PRIORITY FOR THE COLLEGE. SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN THE COLLEGES INFRASTRUCTURE AND EQUIPMENT WILL ALLOW IT TO DELIVER QUALITY AND MISSION-BASED PROGRAMS TO ITS STUDENTS AT EACH FACET OF THEIR EDUCATION.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$46.5M
