Faculty & Staff

Gifts from alumni, parents and friends — like you — provide collective support that powers the student experience. Your generosity helps create scholarships, fund academic programs, support faculty, provide leadership opportunities, enhance residential life and prepare undergraduates to change the world for the better.

When you give $25 or more by Dec. 31, we’ll send you the 2025 Bucknell Calendar as a token of our gratitude!

The Fall '24 issue of Bucknell Magazine includes a profile of Chris Bender ’93, who built a thriving Hollywood career by turning hidden gem scripts into big-screen hits. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at the Secret Service through the eyes of six Bucknellians who took on one of the most high-stakes roles in federal law enforcement. And Kelly Desharnais Catale ’12, an elite mountain biker, writes a first-person piece about how she’s finding fulfillment by mentoring young athletes.

NBC News Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor; comedian, TV host and producer W. Kamau Bell; pioneering actor and social justice activist George Takei (presented in partnership with MLK Week); and entrepreneur, investor and Shark Tank panelist Kevin O’Leary (presented in partnership with the Perricelli-Gegnas Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation) will appear for the 2024-25 Bucknell Forum speaker series. The speakers will address the series theme, "World in Transition," which reflects upon the dynamic and rapidly changing global landscape we are experiencing today.
