The NFT Revolution?

In this issue of Bucknell Magazine, read about how Bucknellians are shaping the debate around the ballooning NFT phenomenon. Is it the next great digital revolution or a bubble destined to burst? Our cover story dives into the artistic, financial and technological implications — for NFT enthusiasts and skeptics alike.

You'll also get a picture-perfect view of the Class of 2026's first days at Bucknell. From move-in to Matriculation to fun-filled icebreaker events, New Student Orientation is thoughtfully designed to immerse first-year students in what it means to be a Bucknellian. See how students, faculty and staff welcomed the University's largest incoming class to campus.

How did a Bucknell librarian become a champion for academic freedom? Learn about the bravery of Zoia Horn, who took a stand against government surveillance when she refused to testify in the Harrisburg Seven trial in 1972.

Guidelines & Policies

Advertising Content
- United States Post Office regulations require that all advertisers in Bucknell Magazine be affiliated in some way with the University. All advertisers must be organized divisions, groups or clubs that are recognized by Bucknell University.
- Due to postal regulations, all advertisements must contain non-commercial material, and no third-parties can benefit monetarily from advertisements in the magazine (e.g., the magazine would not be able to accept an ad that would benefit DirecTV, even if Bucknell also were benefiting).
- Due to postal regulations, Bucknell Magazine is unable to accept ads for Bucknell-related products sold by outside organizations or for items manufactured or marketed by individual alumni.
- Due to postal regulations, Bucknell Magazine is unable to mention specific products or services of a business by name in advertisements. This restriction extends to travel agencies that are cosponsoring alumni trips.
- All advertisements are accepted at the discretion of the editor of Bucknell Magazine.
General Information
- All advertising requests must be in writing. Bucknell Magazine does not accept oral requests. Advertisers who know their plans for the fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) may place a written request to advertise that covers a full fiscal year (four issues of the magazine).
- The magazine will give a total of four advertising pages to University departments, and University Advancement has a priority on that space. Any requests for ad space exceeding four pages will be filled only if there is room in the issue.
- The magazine will allow reservations of ad space up to one month in advance of the ad copy being due, but no less.
- Advertisers have two options for producing ads:
1. Work with the Division of Communications to develop the ad.
2. Engage an outside agency to produce the ad for publication.
- If option (1) is chosen and original photography is required, please coordinate with Communications. If option (2) is chosen, the final ad must be completed and approved by the editor on the date that final copy and photos are due. In both options, the advertiser is responsible for any outside photography fees.

Bucknell Magazine welcomes letters to the editor addressing topics covered in the magazine. Although criticism of the University and its policies is acceptable, no letters containing potentially libelous statements or personal attacks will be printed. 
The editors reserve the final decision to publish and edit any letter — there is no guarantee that all letters received will be published.
All letters must be signed. The maximum length is 300 words. The editors reserve the right to edit letters for clarity and space. Writers may be asked to submit revised versions of letters or to approve editorial changes made by the Bucknell Magazine editor. After two issues, the debate on any topic will conclude. Some letters may be disseminated only online. Views expressed in this magazine do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the editors or the official views or policies of the University.
