Dear friend, At Bucknell, your student’s preparation for life after graduation goes well beyond career training. Life After Bucknell, a series of programs offered through the Career Development Center, aims to prepare seniors with the soft skills they need to thrive after graduating. Tonight, for instance, the CDC will host its 14th annual “Wine, Dine and Act Fine” senior etiquette dinner, a primer in the know-how needed to navigate professional dinners and formal occasions. This month we’re also pleased to present several exciting opportunities to connect with Bucknell. You’re invited to join the herd and support Bison Athletics during One Herd One Day, a 24-hour athletics giving challenge from noon, April 16, through noon, April 17. Whether you choose to support your favorite varsity sport or Athletics’ area of greatest need, it’s a win for our student-athletes! Bucknell CARES is a nationwide volunteer effort that brings together parents, students, alumni and friends in the spirit of service, centered this year on the theme of hunger relief and food insecurity. We hope you’ll join an event near you.
’ray Bucknell!
