“Um, sorry, you’re moving … WHERE?” This was the general reaction to the news that, yes, I was moving. Moving to the other side of the world, to a new hemisphere – a place where steering wheels are on the right, winter is summer and the national symbol is the most outlandish creature I’ve ever witnessed walk this earth (please just Google a video of a kiwi bird).

I don’t know about you but Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday – just a day centered around great food and taking a moment to appreciate everything we have, large or small.

So starting today (November 12) you now all have automatic access to the Alumni Directory in B-Link.

Welcome back, after what was hopefully a relaxing and enjoyable winter break! The campus just wasn’t the same without you here. I could find parking but missed the New York Times; I could find a treadmill but missed the fitness classes; I could find a table at the Bison but missed fighting the crowd…err OK not really on that one but in short…we missed all of you! And now classes begin tomorrow and, if you haven’t started already, now is a good time to get moving on your internship or job search. Here’s three tips to get you started: Get [...]

Today it’s even easier to identify connections for networking. Let’s start with one word: LinkedIn. We have a Bucknell Alumni LinkedIn group that is growing every day and it’s a no brainer to start there. Apart from the group, LinkedIn (in general) is a great way to make connections and build your network but make sure you are doing it wisely! A second, and uniquely Bucknell way, to build your network is by participating in our Bucknell Professional Networks. These are already conveniently organized with alumni by industry which takes out a lot of the work on your end. These [...]

As we look to grow the Bucknell Consumer Products Network and strengthen our company connections, it is important that we know what students are actually interested in. As part of the network this year, we will be hosting industry panels and speakers as well as taking trips to different Consumer Products companies for information sessions and networking events. By completing this survey and indicating which companies, industries, and job functions you’re interested in learning more about, we can better focus our efforts towards events you’ll actually like and alumni that can truly help. There is no guarantee that we will [...]

Now that everyone can get access to the Alumni Directory (yeah, you heard me…) I wanted to share a few helpful hints on the best ways to reach out. Let them get to know you before asking for something–Many professionals are going to be busy, as well as thinking about their own reputations in their workplace. While they can help you with contacts, advice, and even opportunities, they are putting themselves at risk to do so for someone they don’t know, so let them get to know you before asking for something. Consider asking for an informational interview. It is [...]

I know what you are probably thinking…You’ve been here for more than 1 night at this point so why now?

In preparation for the event, each first-year class selects class colors and a motto and designs a class crest incorporating these symbols. In addition, each residence hall floor decorates two pages with photos, drawings, and quotes to reflect their first semester at Bucknell. The ceremony includes the presentation of the class crest, [...]
