特性

同情和教育之声

Do we want a color-blind society or one in which we acknowledge our differences? Renowned journalist 和 human rights activist Charlayne Hunter-Gault asked this question of a packed house in Degenstein Center Theater on Jan. 25. The occasion was her keynote address during Susquehanna’s 2016 winter convocation 和 Martin Luther King Jr. 纪念. Within a few weeks of her appearance, the university welcomed home 加勒特·汤普森 和 Baktash Ahadi, 05 for lively 和 thought-provoking interactions with the campus community. 体现了萨斯奎哈纳家族的丰富多样性, they are inspiring a new generation 和 connecting them to the wider world, 就像亨特-高尔特在她的职业生涯中所做的那样.

冬天的永久支持者

北半球的春天正如火如荼, where the winter blahs have given way to brighter days 和 a lighter step to our walks. 但对于吉尔森董事会(GB)的“部落”来说,他们这样称呼自己, 温暖的天气标志着哀悼的时刻. Winter is long gone in the Susquehanna River Valley where they make their home, leaving the tribe to “struggle for survival” in a l和 devoid of snow. Or so says the documentary-style “wildlife” video that the snowboard manufacturer created to poke fun at their location.

家庭事务

他们各自出于不同的原因选择了萨斯奎哈纳. 小学校的氛围, an academic track with close guidance for undeclared 学生, an AACSB-accredited business program in the top 5 percent worldwide, 和 a Division III school with a gorgeous campus 和 a great soccer program. It was just an added bonus that by selecting Susquehanna, the four Bolger siblings from Hopatcong, N.J.他们会一起度过大学时光.
