Seniors Celebrate 100 Nights
More than 500 seniors attended the second annual "100 Nights Celebration: Countdown to Graduation" on Feb. 16. The event kicked off a countdown of the days until graduation and revived a tradition of the 1970s-80s. The senior class gathered to celebrate their years at Bucknell, to reminisce about their experiences, and to generate excitement about staying involved with Bucknell after graduation. The 100 Nights Committee, with support from Development and Alumni Relations, the Senior Gift Drive Committee, and the Homecoming Hosts and Hostesses, planned the event.

The alumni participation rate influences Bucknell's standing among our peer institutions. Your involvement in the Annual Fund is more important than the amount you donate. Bucknell wants to know — can we count on you? If you would like to make a secure online gift, visit http://www.bucknell.edu/script/gifts. Or, if you prefer, make a gift by check payable to Bucknell University and mail it to Bucknell University, Office of the Annual Fund, Lewisburg, PA 17837. For more information about giving, please visit the Q&A information about giving at http://www.bucknell.edu/x1054.xml. [TOP] |
