Boguskis Honored for Professional U Support Michael ’85 and Beth Boguski have committed $500,000 to the Bloomsburg University Foundation to support experiential learning opportunities for students. In recognition of this gift and continued support of the student experience, Bloomsburg University named the dean’s suite in the Zeigler College of Business in their honor. Since 2014 the Boguskis have championed professional development for students at Bloomsburg University, starting with a gift of $1 million to support BU’s commitment to Professional U. Their latest gift will assist students applying for Professional Experience Grants; Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics programs; and students competing in the Husky Dog Pound.
“Mike and Beth Boguski embody the unique spirit and determination of our students,” says BU President Bashar W. Hanna. “They share our passion for and commitment to our mission of providing experiential learning opportunities for our students so that they can achieve success during and after their years at BU. I am ever grateful to Mike and Beth for their continued generosity and support of Bloomsburg University.” A former member of the campaign cabinet for BU’s largest-ever capital campaign and a current member of the BU Foundation board, Michael Boguski maintains a strong connection to BU. He was a first-generation college student who began his career in risk management and insurance in 1986 after graduating with a B.S. degree in business management. continued next page.
