Your generosity plays a critical role in shaping the lives of Bucknellians. All across campus, your gifts create opportunities that foster creativity, advance academic excellence and contribute to intellectual exploration. From the Bucknell Fund to athletics to gifts that enhance the student experience, you can choose to support any area that matters most to you.

You make a difference, and we are grateful for your support.

The 2023-24 Bucknell Forum will discuss the theme "Freedom of Expression." The five Forum events will feature conversations between Bucknell President John Bravman and guests including Washington Post columnist George Will, novelist Jodi Picoult, and Academy Award-winning actor and activist Jane Fonda.

In this issue, you’ll meet Bucknellians who are redefining what it means to be an entrepreneur — in health care, in agriculture, in Bucknell’s three colleges and beyond. We were so inspired by them that we decided to break from routine and create two distinct covers, each featuring one of the innovators you’ll read about.
