Who We Are

Bucknell is about more than picturesque buildings and high-tech equipment. For more than 170 years, the community of Bucknellians — students, faculty, staff, donors and alumni — have defined our character.

In our "Bucknell stories" collection, you'll meet a biomedical engineering major who's researching ways to make playgrounds safer, a management professor unlocking hidden truths about online privacy and a theatre alumnus working at MSNBC's Morning Joe.
