What it means to
bE a bison
“... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.” — Christy Mathewson, in his book Won in the Ninth, written in 1910
The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University. Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, contribute to a well-rounded college experience. At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.
In 2012 Mike Huffner was named to the Patriot League AllAcademic Team and the Capital One Academic All-District Team, in addition to his First Team All-Patriot League selection.

Bucknell Bison Athletics
A National Model in Promoting the Scholar-Athlete Ideal Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place. BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. This program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Academy features programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come. FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy a full range of collegiate experiences. SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena. ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. In addition, the Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips. STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for promoting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. Among the programs the Bucknell SAAC has undertaken in recent years are regular volunteer trips to the Lewisburg Food Bank, and involvement with the “Orange and Blue goes Green” sustainability program. BISON GOOD SPORTS: Now in its seventh year, Bison Good Sports is a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events. Bucknell teams have some of the best fan support in the Patriot League, and we encourage all fans to enthusiastically cheer on the Orange & Blue in a positive manner.

Bucknell Athletics Facilities THE KENNETH LANGONE ATHLETICS & RECREATION CENTER The Bucknell University Department of Athletics and Recreation prides itself on setting the standard of excellence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 17 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 22 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 122 Academic All-Americans in 42 years and 128 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 22 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model. The addition of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation venues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success. The facility enhances each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and greatly expands the scope of its growing intramural and recreational sports offerings. A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of campus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the student body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni. Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Natatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a new location for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a brand new display highlighting Bucknell’s all-time Academic All-Americans, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, modern offices for coaches and staff and increased locker room space for varsity and recreational athletes. The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell graduate who, along with his wife Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the university Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996. One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The construction surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which has been restored as a competition venue for the Bison wrestling and volleyball teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities. As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the standard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center becomes the centerpiece in an already impressive cache of athletics facilities that includes the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium and its FieldTurf and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club and brand new Bachman Golf Center; the newly refurbished Depew Field (baseball) and Becker Field (softball); and Emmitt Field and Graham Field at Holmes Stadium, the new portion of the West Fields project that includes covered grandstand seats, ticket and concession areas, team rooms, a training room and a press box area for soccer, field hockey and women’s lacrosse.

2013 Men’s Lacrosse
2013 Season Preview Each year the Bucknell men’s lacrosse team’s list of competitive goals starts with winning the Patriot League championship. Along with the shiny hardware that comes with claiming the title is an automatic ticket to the NCAA Tournament. In recent years winning the Patriot League has become an extremely daunting task, however. The conference is now considered one of the best in the country, with Bucknell (18), Lehigh (11) and Colgate (10) all ranked in the preseason top-20 with Army and Navy on the cusp. In the last decade, the league has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Tournament four times, including last season with Lehigh and Colgate, and Bucknell dropped an overtime heartbreaker to eventual national champion Virginia in its most recent NCAA appearance in 2011. Furthermore, the league is poised to get even stronger in 2014, when defending national champion Loyola and Boston University begin play. Fortunately for head coach Frank Fedorjaka and the Bison, they have a talented and balanced lineup coming back this spring. Last year’s leading scorer, Third Team All-American Billy Eisenreich, has graduated, but the next four point-producers are all back. Bucknell has a pair of All-America candidates on the defensive end of the field in senior goalie Kyle Feeney and senior defenseman Mike Huffner, the Patriot League Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. In all, seven starters return from last year’s squad that finished 9-7 and fell to Colgate in the Patriot League Tournament semifinals. The Bison also have a very promising first-year class, with freshmen expected to be in the rotation at attack, midfield and longstick defensive midfield. “Winning the Patriot League is the No. 1 goal for us,” said Fedorjaka, who is starting his eighth year as Bucknell’s head coach. “This is obviously a very tough league, but we are going to take it one game at a time and do what we do. We have a plan and our own style, and we are going to stick to that. We have terrific leadership in our senior class, and we don’t have any glaring weaknesses.” Fedorjaka directly oversees the Bison defense, and he has a deep and talented group returning this spring, led by a fourthyear starter in goal in Feeney. A two-time all-league selection and eighth-round draft pick of the MLL’s Charlotte Hounds, Feeney has always been a strong ball-stopper. Now
as a senior co-captain, he is also the vocal leader of the defense. He understands Bucknell’s complex defensive scheme, and Fedorjaka said he is as good as any goalie he has coached at directing his teammates in front of him. Huffner is a two-time First Team AllPatriot League honoree and one of the top cover men in the league. He can handle attackmen that are big and physical or smaller and quicker, and the Patriot League features all kinds. Junior Jackson Place is also a returning starter, and he and Huffner mesh very well. Stepping into the third close defense position is sophomore Ben Kellar, who was ticketed for a starting spot last season before suffering an ACL tear late in fall ball. Senior co-captain Dylan Burke could also see time on close defense. Senior co-captain Wills Miller and freshman ground ball whiz Alex Spring will handle the bulk of the long-stick midfield duties, and the Bison return three experienced shortstick d-middies in senior Kyle O’Keefe, junior Sam McDonough and sophomore Andrew Dempsey. Freshman Zach Henkhaus is also knocking on the door for some playing time. “Defensively we have a very nice foundation,” said Fedorjaka. “We have a lot of versatility and flexibility on defense. We have good cover guys and smart players who really understand how we play. Our system allows us to play multiple defenses and styles, and we have a goalie who knows how to direct them. Mike Huffner and Jackson Place can both cover anyone and they are both aggressive, and Ben Kellar is a very good complement to them.” The Bison return their two most experienced faceoff specialists in senior Ryan Gutowski and sophomore Gavin Sullivan. Gutowski is also the starting punter for the Bucknell football team, so he missed fall practice. Sullivan took most of the reps in the fall and performed very well, and Fedorjaka anticipates using both of them judiciously to keep them fresh for the biggest games late in the season. Freshman Eric Monfort will also take some draws. Fedorjaka is very excited about his wing players, including McDonough, Spring and sophomore Mike Ondrusek, who also plays short-stick d-mid. Last season the Bison won 45.7 percent of their draws, a figure that was significantly improved in the fall. Offensively, Bucknell has two of the

country’s most accurate finishers among its attack unit. As a team, the Bison led the nation in shooting percentage (.371) a year ago, with senior Chase Bailey (.583) and junior Todd Heritage (.507) ranking second and seventh individually. Heritage led the team with 35 goals, including a school-record-tying eight in a win over Hobart, while Bailey added a career-high 28 goals to go along with 10 assists. Many of their goals were set up by Eisenreich, who produced 34 goals and 32 assists last season. This year the Bison will frequently put the ball in the stick of freshman Sean Doyle, a quick, shifty attackman who is both a strong shooter and feeder. “We have a great set of attackmen with great balance,” said Fedorjaka. “Offensively we are at our best when we can move the ball around. Sean Doyle is very unselfish, and he brings a nice dimension to the offense. They all work well together.” The midfield is probably Bucknell’s least-experienced unit, but it is also one of the deepest. Junior Peter Burke is coming off a 22-goal, 12-assist season, and he has scored some big goals late in games for the Bison over the last two years. Sophomore David Dickson was one of the most productive rookies in the country last season, when he recorded 14 goals and 26 assists. Dickson is versatile enough to play both attack and midfield, and Fedorjaka feels that last year’s confidence boost will make him even better. Senior Billy Mattimore returned last season after a one-year absence, and he tallied eight goals and four assists as a second-line middie and EMO regular. Junior sharpshooter Tom Black, a seven-goal scorer last year, and sophomore Ryan Joseph also played on the second line in 2012. As many as four freshmen are on the cusp of playing time at midfield, including the diminutive speedster Brock Ghelfi, who Fedorjaka says is one of the fastest players he has ever coached. Ghelfi has spent time on the first midfield line in preseason scrimmages and could start in the opener at Delaware. “I like our depth at midfield,” said Fedorjaka. “Peter Burke and David Dickson are returning starters, Billy Mattimore is ready for a breakout season, and Tom Black is probably our best shooter. And then we have some really good freshmen who are getting better and better. Their job is simply to run our offense and help manufacture shots and goals.”

Peter Burke scored 22 goals last season and is one of the league’s top returning middies.

Bison Coaching Staff FRANK FEDORJAKA HEAD COACH 8th SEASON
107-70 overall, 68-39 at BU
Frank Fedorjaka was picked as the 2009 and 2011 Patriot League Coach of the Year.
After two stints as an assistant coach at Bucknell spanning nearly a decade, Frank Fedorjaka took over as head coach in 2006 when he succeeded longtime mentor Sid Jamieson. Fedorjaka has led the Bison to two of the last four Patriot League regular-season titles, and in 2011 guided the team to its first Patriot League Tournament title and second NCAA Tournament appearance. Fedorjaka became only the second head coach in Bucknell lacrosse history, following in the footsteps of Jamieson, the Bucknell Hall of Famer who founded the varsity lacrosse program in 1968. In his first season at the helm, Fedorjaka led the Bison to a historic victory over No. 1 Maryland — the program’s first-ever victory over a top-ranked team — and another top-20 road win at Penn State later in the season. The victories really began to start pouring in during year No. 2, as the Bison went 11-4, including three top-20 wins, and came within one of the school record for wins in a season. Another 10-win season followed in 2008, and the Bison advanced all the way to the Patriot League championship game for the first time. In 2009 Fedorjaka was named Patriot League Coach of the Year for the first time after leading the Bison to a perfect 6-0 conference record and the Patriot League regular-season title. His team made it to the championship game for the second year in a row, this time dropping a one-goal heartbreaker to Navy. In 2010, the Bison took second-ranked and eventual national champion Duke to overtime, and they again qualified for the postseason. Bucknell finished 8-6, with the six losses coming by a combined seven goals. And then in 2011 the Bison finished 14-3, setting a new school record for wins in a season. They went 6-0 in the Patriot League for the second time in three years and routed Lehigh and Colgate in the PL Tournament before entering the NCAA Tournament with a No. 7 national ranking, the highest in program history. Bucknell nearly upset eventual national champion Virginia in the first round, leading for most of the game before falling 13-12 in overtime. Fedorjaka was rewarded with his second Patriot League Coach of the Year award. Known throughout his career as one of the college game’s best defensive minds, Fedorjaka’s teams annually rank among the national leaders in scoring defense, man-down defense and riding efficiency. In his first seven years as head coach he has mentored nine All-Patriot League defensemen, including 2011 All-American Alex Lyons, and four allconference goalies. One of those goalies, Nick Sciubba, led the nation in save percentage and goals-against average in 2007. He has also coached three-time All-American Austin Winter and Third Team All-American Billy Eisenreich, and the 2009 team produced a school-record six First Team AllPatriot League honorees. Four of Fedorjaka’s student-athletes have gone on to play professional lacrosse after graduation, and current goalie Kyle Feeney was selected in the MLL draft. Fedorjaka rejoined the Bucknell lacrosse family after serving as head coach at Franklin & Marshall for five years. Fedorjaka served as an assistant coach at Bucknell for the 1992 and 1993 seasons before going to F&M. In his five seasons at F&M, the Diplomats compiled a 39-31 record. His 39 wins placed him in second on the school’s all-time lacrosse wins list. In 1995 Fedorjaka was named the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association’s Division III Coach of the Year, after leading the Diplomats to a 12-3 record and an NCAA playoff berth. In addition to his responsibilities as men’s lacrosse coach, Fedorjaka also served as an assistant coach in football and women’s soccer during his tenure at F&M. Also while at F&M Fedorjaka served as the Chair to the Southern ECAC Lacrosse Committee in 1997 and 1998. He served on the USILA National Ranking Committee and NCAA Advisory Committee for Division III lacrosse. A 1989 graduate of Hobart College, Fedorjaka was a starting long-stick midfielder on three NCAA Division III national championship teams. He was also a three-year starter at wide receiver for the Statesman football team, earning All-America honors in 1988. The Rochester, N.Y., native was named
16
Hobart’s Athlete of the Year in 1989. During his career at Hobart, he held all reception records and remained the school’s all-time leading receiver until 2004. Fedorjaka began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for two years at Springfield College (Mass.). Fedorjaka has two children: Matthew (15) and Jamie (11).
JOE CONNER JR. ASSISTANT COACH 4th SEASON
Joe Conner Jr. is in his fourth season on the Bucknell men’s lacrosse staff, and his second in the No. 1 assistant position, where he serves as offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator. In Conner’s first season as the offensive coordinator in 2012, the Bison finished the season with the No. 1 shooting percentage in the nation, and they set school records for goals, assists and points in a season. Inside Lacrosse’s Pace Statistics for Adjusted Offensive Efficiency Rating determined that the Bison had one of the most efficient offensive units in recent Division 1 lacrosse history throughout most of the 2012 season. Conner was the assistant lacrosse coach at Mount St. Mary’s for two years before coming to Bucknell. At Mount St. Mary’s, Conner helped coach the Mount to a 5-3 conference record and a No. 2 seed in the MAAC playoffs, the Mount’s first conference playoff appearance in two years. He served as recruiting coordinator, and in his final season with The Mount he coached the defense, helping them to a No. 9 national ranking in goals allowed. Conner is a 2007 graduate of Mount St. Mary’s and received his M.B.A. degree with a management concentration from The Mount as well in May of 2009. During the summer of 2009, Conner worked at Wells Fargo Financial as a Credit Manager before being hired by Bucknell in September of 2009. As a student-athlete, he played at Binghamton University for three years before transferring to Mount St. Mary’s to finish his playing career and pursue his coaching career. He was a midfielder at Binghamton and then was moved to attack when he transferred to Mount St. Mary’s. A native of Ijamsville, Md., he played both lacrosse and football at Urbana High School. He was a high school All-American in lacrosse and started at quarterback on a record-setting football team that won four straight state championships and carried a 50-game winning streak. He currently holds the Frederick County Maryland high school touchdown pass record with 28 in a single season. Joe is the son of Joe Conner Sr. and Ximena Conner, and he has 2 younger brothers (Jason and Justin) and a younger sister (Jackie).
NICK MARKS
ASSISTANT COACH 2nd SEASON Former Bison men’s lacrosse standout Nick Marks returned to his alma mater in 2012 as an assistant coach on Frank Fedorjaka’s staff. A fouryear starting midfielder at Bucknell, Marks has remained very active in the sport of lacrosse since graduating in 2008 with a degree in classics and history. Prior to returning to Bucknell, Marks served as head varsity lacrosse coach and assistant varsity football coach at Lake Zurich (Ill.) High School. The football team reached the Class 7A state championship game last season. While coaching, Marks also worked as a sales consultant for Harrow Sports and served as director of lacrosse operations for Team One Lacrosse, where he helped identify and recruit players for Illinois elite teams. In 2008-09 he was program director for Lacrosse America. Marks enjoyed a terrific playing career at Bucknell. He played in 57 career games over four seasons and finished with 37 goals and nine assists for 46 points. He captained the 2008 team that finished 10-5 and reached the Patriot League championship game for the first time. Bucknell compiled a 21-9 record during his junior and season seasons and went 36-21 over his four-year career, making him part of the program’s winningest class at the time. In 2006, Marks was named Bucknell’s Most Improved Player, and he also earned the team’s Iron Man Award. In the classroom Marks was a Dean’s List student and a member of the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll. He was later a 2008 supplemental draft pick of Major League Lacrosse’s Chicago Machine, a 2012 supplemental draft pick by the Ohio Machine and was also member of the Chicago Shamrox of the National Lacrosse League.

Thirty top-tier high school and club lacrosse teams will be showcased for college coaches and scouts. Conveniently held on the campus of Bucknell University, the adidas Bison Brawl Team Lacrosse Camp provides the ultimate team competition, multiple synthetic turf fields, illuminated stadium venue, ample parking, dormitory facilities, hotels, hospitality and exposure to the college admissions and athletic recruitment process — not specific to Bucknell University. The camp is held on Bucknell University’s 450-acre campus in the heart of the beautiful Susquehanna River Valley in Lewisburg, Pa. Bucknell’s campus is located adjacent to Rt. 15, just six miles south of I-80 and 55 miles north of Harrisburg, Pa. Campers compete in the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. With its recently-installed FieldTurf, it is one of the finest venues in all of college lacrosse. The camp also utilizes the newly renovated West Fields complex, which also offers a first-class atmosphere for lacrosse at any level. The camp provides state-of-the-art facilities and accommodations for a competitive lacrosse atmosphere. All teams will have a chance to work on team concepts and various aspects of team play as the week progresses. Camp staff and referees help provide the most realistic, game-like experience possible. This is a unique chance to grow and learn as a team while continuing to develop all the important individual skills necessary to play at the college level.

BISON LAX IN THE COMMUNITY My top priority as a head coach is to be sure that our program has a positive image on campus, in the community and in the lacrosse world. It is important to me that our student-athletes give back to the University, the community, and to the sport they love, and that these three entities are better with Bucknell Lacrosse than without. That said, I am proud to announce this year’s Community Service Plan. Our goal is to contribute 24 hours of community service per team member. That’s 42 studentathletes x 24 hours each = over 1,000 hours! We will be contributing to many, many causes again this year. The events and non-profit organizations that we will be supporting this year are as follows:
The U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division, Co. A, 506th Regiment shows off care packages sent to Iraq by the Bison lacrosse team.
A Bison Never Forgets – The brainchild of 2011 graduates John Collett and Ryan Klipstein, Bison Lax raises funds to send care packages to former college lacrosse players now serving overseas in the armed forces. Collett and Klipstein earned the 2010 Patriot League Sportsmanship Award for their efforts. Americans Supporting Americans – Our participation in this program has caught national attention and has sparked a number of universities, programs, churches, classrooms, etc., to join. We were the first university and certainly the first athletic team to participate in this wonderful program that supports U.S. troops overseas. Best Buddies – One or two players each year enroll in the Best Buddies program, where they have an opportunity to build a relationship with a physically or mentally handicapped person in our area. Harvest Soup Kitchen – Team members will help serve at various times. Ronald McDonald House – “Grab a Tab” fundraising program. Colleges against Cancer – Team took part in a 5K run on campus. AIDS Walk – Team took part in a 1-hour AIDS walk in Gerhard Fieldhouse. Day Care – Visit Sunflower Day Care facility and read to young children. Adopt-A-Highway – Clean up highway along Stein Lane in Lewisburg. — Frank Fedorjaka, Head Coach
ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT
THE PLAN FOR BUCKNELL
The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University. The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, reflects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell. A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA. The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.
Bucknell is a unique national university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other, where 3,350 full-time students are educated for a lifetime of critical thinking and strong leadership. For 160 years, the University has remained true to its fundamental purpose: to educate and prepare students for lives that make a difference and have a positive impact on the world. In keeping with that purpose, the University has developed The Plan for Bucknell, which includes its collective vision — “To provide students with the premier undergraduate experience in American higher education.” The Plan comprises five strategies: Strengthen the Academic Core aims to ensure that a Bucknell education is challenging and engaging, with openness to new ideas and a culture of innovation; Deepen the Residential Learning Experience will provide a residential learning and living experience that complements the academic program, integrates the athletics and recreation program and promotes personal growth and development and civic and ethical responsibility; Enhance Diversity is a commitment to diversity in all its forms within a civil and supportive environment of open exchange to prepare Bucknell graduates to live and work in a globally integrated and intercultural world; Build Bridges will bring the world to Bucknell — through visiting scholars and sports teams, international students and alumni, guest speakers, international focus semesters, and electronic communications — and bring Bucknell to the world through strategic partnerships and community engagement activities as well as opportunities for off-campus study and faculty research; Secure Our Financial Future will secure resources necessary to engage new opportunities, lessen dependence on tuition, and ensure our financial future. The Plan for Bucknell was unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees on April 29, 2006, having previously been approved by the students and faculty. We have begun implementing it and are determined to make it a reality over the next decade.
