Have you ever seen the Bucknell Orange and Blue in an unexpected place: a Bison hat in a crowded airport, a "B" car decal on the highway, or someone standing in the checkout line wearing an orange sweatshirt?

If you have experienced this, you were probably overwhelmed with an indescribable feeling; a mixture of excitement, loyalty, pride and instant connection. It's an emotion you cannot put into words, but it's one that brings a smile to your face.

This feeling is what it means to be a Bucknellian. The Orange and Blue thread is strong and reaches all around the world. It knits together an alumni community of over 50,000 people with a tight bond of love for Bucknell University.  Few things can connect so many people in such a meaningful and lasting way as the pride our alumni feel for their alma mater.

Thank you for making the Bucknell Alumni community like no other, and for making it one of which we are eternally proud.

'ray Bucknell!
