Another semester to celebrate

Another eventful and productive year at Bloomsburg University comes to a close as we conclude the fall 2010 semester and begin to enjoy the holidays with friends and family.

Our campus will remain relatively quiet for five weeks until it bustles again with students and faculty returning for the spring semester. A much-needed holiday break is upon us, and one we definitely deserve after such a busy semester.

It was a semester of:

• Landmark moments, including a campus walk to commemorate a significant event in the Civil Rights movement 55 years ago, the unveiling of the renovations at Hartline Science Center and Nelson Field House and our annual Breast Cancer 5K Walk/Run fundraiser which raised a record $11,000.


• New projects, such as an effort by our language students to introduce French and Spanish to local elementary students and a highly successful weekly on-campus Farmer’s Market.


• Community service, including sororities who used a meet-and-greet to introduce freshmen to their volunteer service endeavors and more than 50 students joining together to help our neighboring communities become more environmentally clean.

There has been plenty to celebrate this fall, and the holiday season is the perfect time to reflect on everyday simple gifts. Please enjoy this special holiday greeting from Bloomsburg University. Season’s Greetings and Happy New Year!
