Pettit awarded honorary doctorate
Bloomsburg University will award an honorary doctor of humane letters to Steph Pettit ’89 on Saturday, May 11, at the 10 a.m. commencement ceremony for the College of Education and the College of Liberal Arts at Redman Stadium. Pettit graduated with a degree in mass communications and was a four-year member of the Huskies football team. He was part of the 1985 Huskies football team that won the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference title and was the first team in school history to win 12 games.
“Steph Pettit has been a wonderful friend to Bloomsburg University over the years,” said Bashar W. Hanna, university president. “Through his generous support, so many of our students have achieved the dream of a college degree.”
