2,327 alumni, parents and friends volunteered.

Bucknell loves you back

We have so many reasons to say thank you.

  • For showing your school pride. Your favorite Bucknell T-shirt or sweatshirt tells the world you're proud to be part of the University. (Who hasn’t smiled at an unexpected sighting of the Orange and Blue in a place like Sydney, Australia, or on a Mediterranean cruise ship?)
  • For making a gift. Annual Fund gifts of any size add up to make a tremendous difference for every Bucknell student. On behalf of all of our students, thank you!
  • For sharing your talents. The University’s continued excellence depends on our talented volunteers. Whether they're in Lewisburg, Los Angeles or London, they are eager to help other Bucknellians connect, learn and thrive.
  • For continuing your loyal support. We are grateful for our worldwide community of dedicated alumni, many of whom have supported Bucknell since graduation – if not before. (Did you know that Ken Freeman ’72 made his first gift to the University when he was a senior? Those two dollars started it all for Ken, who now chairs Bucknell’s Board of Trustees.)
