The Husky Difference

BU celebrated the achievement of 1,300 students who earned bachelor's degrees and 200 students who earned master's and doctoral degrees in five ceremonies this past weekend. To the graduates and their supporters, President Bashar Hanna said:

"The world needs your compassion, empathy, and leadership. Wherever your path leads, please take with you that Husky grit and determination that helped you succeed here. I implore you to find your path, develop and maintain a growth mindset, and contribute to your respective communities in a meaningful way. Don’t be afraid to challenge what you see and hear. Be courageous. Be leaders. Be Huskies.”

After a 54-year drought between league titles, the Bloomsburg University baseball team captured its second consecutive Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championship with a 6-2 victory at sixth-ranked Seton Hill University on Saturday afternoon in game three of the best-of-three series. The Huskies improved to 23-16 overall while the Griffins dropped to 35-6 on the year.

The Huskies limped into this year's tournament as the No. 3 seed from the Eastern Division. Bloomsburg was saddled with several injuries — especially on the mound — throughout the year, but got sensational pitching performances throughout the tournament to hoist the trophy again.

Bloomsburg University recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the new Arts and Administration Building. President Bashar Hanna praised the collaborative nature of the space. “Often when universities build buildings, they either serve as an academic space or an administrative space,” said Hanna. “This building serves both areas, emphasizing that here at Bloomsburg we are one family.”

During the month of June, we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and the continued fight for equality in the United States and the world. Please join us in celebrating the progress that has been made, help us to remember those whose lives have been cut short due to bigotry and hate, and learn how to be an active ally in our continuing fight for equality.

Bloomsburg University will return to a full-time, in-person this fall. The intent is to offer in-person instruction to students so they're fully immersed in an on-campus setting with maximal opportunities for face-to-face engagement. The Fall 2021 semester will begin on Aug. 23 with the term concluding on Dec. 3, while commencement ceremonies set for Dec. 11.
