Bison Gatherings
Bison Gatherings, a cherished Bucknell tradition, are a great way to get introduced to the Bucknell family!
Often held during the summer at the homes of Bucknell families across the country, these events offer incoming first-year and transfer students and their families the opportunity to meet one another and interact with current students, families and alumni. During each gathering, a University representative provides comprehensive information about orientation and answers questions about what to expect the first few days on campus.
Registration for the incoming first-year class is available in June. Dates for Bison Gatherings will be posted on the Alumni, Parent and Family Events Calendar.
Summer Bison Gathering Locations and Dates
As summer 2027 draws near we will be buidling a list of venues for these gatherings. Invitations to first-year students (incoming Class of 2031) will be sent in June.
