Dear friend,
Earlier this month we were pleased to announce that the Class of 2019 has chosen Madeleine Albright, the first female U.S. secretary of state, to deliver the keynote address at Bucknell’s
169th Commencement on May 19. We look forward to welcoming seniors and their families to campus to celebrate with a full weekend of Commencement events.
Is your student interested in a career in public or community service? Make sure they know about the
Bucknell Public Interest Program, which provides stipends of $3,000 for students who have secured full-time, unpaid internships at nonprofit and public-service organizations. Funding is highly competitive, and internships must be secured by the March 25 application deadline.
’ray Bucknell!
Ann L. DiStefano
Director, Parent & Family Programs
P.S. The financial aid deadline for returning students is March 15. Questions? Call 570-577-1331 or email
