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 have begun 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 […]

This semester, following Laura’s excellent lead, we hope to share more possibilities of places you may want to call home after Bucknell.  Although these guides are written by a senior (our ever-awesome Hillary Mann ’13) and are primarily for seniors […]

In the stress of finals and the excitement of heading home for a month, it is easy to forget minor details – like setting up a vacation response. If you are in the middle of a job or internship search we recommend setting up your vacation settings in Bmail. It may help if a potential employer happens to send you an email during this time to make sure they are aware that you are currently on break. It doesn’t have to be long or fancy. Something easy and quick. Something to let them know that you may not be checking […]
