WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A BISONWHAT IT MEANS TO BE A BISON

BE A BISON

Th e term “student-athlete” signifi es something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University.

Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics.

Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar fi rst and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, team-work and grace under pressure, are but a part of a well-rounded college experience.

At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that bal-ances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics.

Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.

Bucknell Bison AthleticsSetting the Standard of Excellence

Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the playing fi elds. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to graduation rates that are ranked annually in the national top-10, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class when it comes to upholding the scholar-athlete ideal.

According to federal data released by the NCAA in the fall of 2008, Bucknell’s • four-year student-athlete graduation rate was second-highest in the nation among student-athletes who entered college between the 1998-99 and 2001-02 academic years. With a four-class average of 89 percent, Bucknell trailed only Davidson (92 percent) among all Division I institutions report-ing federal graduation rates (the Ivy League and military academies do not report federal graduation rates). Georgetown, Notre Dame and Holy Cross were also at 89 percent. Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate is identi-cal to its overall student-body average of 89 percent.

Bucknell has claimed a league-high 113 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of • the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference in 1990-91.

A total of 366 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in • 2008-09 after recording a GPA of 3.2 or better during their sport’s competi-tion season. Among all BU student-athletes, 238 made the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.5 or better in the spring of 2009.

24 of Bucknell’s 27 varsity squads posted team GPAs of 3.0 or better in the • spring of 2009.

In addition to the 118 • ESPN the Magazine Academic All-Americans produced since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 281 Academic All-District honorees over the same span, including a school-record 22 in 2008-09.

With three more Patriot League championships in 2008-09, Bucknell has • now earned 73 crowns in 19 years in the league. In addition, Bucknell has had 100 conference players of the year, 83 PL coaches of the year and a whopping 476 individual league champions from sports such as cross country, track & fi eld, swimming & diving, tennis and golf.

Bucknell has captured the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, signifying the • league’s all-sports champion, 15 times in the 19-year history of the affi liation, including 11 of the last 12 years. Bucknell claimed the overall and women’s Cup standings in 2008-09. It was the 12th straight year and the 15th time overall that the Bison took home the women’s title. In 2008-09, Bucknell won Patriot League titles in women’s outdoor track & fi eld, women’s rowing and men’s golf. Additionally, the baseball and men’s lacrosse teams captured regular-season titles.

Bucknell ranks FIFTH in the nation (to Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State • and Stanford) in total number of ESPN The Magazine All-America selections.

A major element in ensuring Bucknell’s commitment to athletics excellence • is the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics & Recreation Center, which opened fully in 2003. One of the fi nest collegiate athletics facilities of its kind, the center includes the 4,000-seat Sojka Pavilion, the Olympic class Kinney Natatorium, the Krebs Family Fitness Center and the Berger Family Weight Room. A Hall of Fame area, a display of Bucknell’s Medal of Honor recipients, a new Aca-demic All-America wall, a sports medicine suite, modern offi ces for coaches and staff , and locker room and classroom space are also included in the facil-ity’s layout.

Bucknell Bison AthleticsA National Model in Promoting the Scholar-Athlete Ideal

Bucknell Athletics is fi rst and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national model when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their fi rst priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residen-tial learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place.

FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Buck-nell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which aff ords them opportunities to enjoy the full range of collegiate experiences available to students generally.

SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff , including prac-tice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena.

ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfi tted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice.

LAPTOP PROGRAM: The Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for pro-moting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and eff orts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body.

OTHER PROGRAMMING: The Department of Athletics, through the identifi cation of outside speakers and periodic “Brown Bag Luncheons,” thrives to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience as well as to educate student-athletes on a variety of issues that may aff ect them throughout their collegiate career. Some recent topics of interest have been alcohol, nutrition, body image, hazing, sexuality, diversity, career development, study skills, religious life and gambling.

Two years ago Bucknell won the Patriot League Tournament title and up-set nationally ranked Florida State in the NCAA Tournament. Last spring the Bison tied for the Patriot League regular-season crown and earned the No. 1 seed in the postseason tournament. Even with that recent success, Bucknell 28th-year head coach Gene Depew thinks this could be the year the team re-ally shines.

Bucknell returns three of its four weekend starting pitchers, includ-ing Second Team All-Patriot League selection Trey Frahler, while fi ve of the team’s top six hitters from last year will remain in the lineup, including out-fi elder Andrew Brouse, who put together one of the best off ensive seasons by a Bison in recent memory.

“We will be a balanced team this year and have plenty of experience,” said Depew about the 2010 edition of the Bison. “We have a number of talented veterans who have played a lot over the last couple of years. We also have a number of newcomers who will battle for playing time.”

Th ere won’t be much room in the starting lineup for the rookies as the only position players to graduate this past off season were center fi elder Dane Grandizio and second baseman Bret Sokirka. Th e pitching staff lost only three seniors that combined for less than one-third of Bucknell’s innings in 2009.

One advantage for the Bison as they pursue their seventh Patriot League regular-season title since 1996 is that they will play three consecutive home Patriot League series in April. Th is year Bucknell will be playing on a brand new FieldTurf surface at Depew Field.

PITCHING STAFFBucknell has plenty of experience on its pitching staff as eight of the 11

hurlers who logged double-fi gure innings last year return, including three weekend starters who are all juniors (Frahler, Eric Jarrett, Dylan Seeley).

Frahler headlines the starters as he fi nished second in the Patriot League with a team-best 4.34 ERA last year. He was a stellar 4-0 with a 2.84 ERA op-posite Patriot League opponents in the regular season.

“At the end of the year Trey was one of the better pitchers in the Patriot League,” remarked Depew, who picked up his 500th career win last March. “He battled a little infl ammation in the shoulder, took the summer off and we were cautious with him in the fall, but by the end of the fall he was throwing well and pain free.”

Jarrett and Seeley were Bucknell’s No. 3 and No. 4 starters a year ago be-hind Frahler and First Team All-Patriot League choice Chris Yamaguchi. Jar-rett posted an impressive rookie campaign in 2008 with a 5-6 record and a 4.29 ERA, but he struggled with his control last spring and fi nished 1-4 with a 7.47 ERA. He had 42 walks in 2009, one more than his 2008 total in just over half as many innings.

“I expect Eric to bounce back this year,” said Depew. “He is a hard thrower who should have a strong season.”

Seeley was a durable starter who logged two nine-inning complete games and won four of fi ve starts during Patriot League play. Overall, the lanky right-hander was 4-5 with a 6.83 ERA in 54.0 innings.

Th ose three juniors, along with the graduated Yamaguchi and Sean Driscoll, combined for 41 of Bucknell’s 47 starts a year ago, meaning Depew and sixth-year pitching coach Scott Heather will have to plug a new face into the starting rotation. Among the leaders are tall junior Daniel Hart, junior college transfer Steve Carlin, sophomore Jack Boehm and seniors Andrew Clarke and Michael Dallanegra.

Hart has the most experience of the group, tying for the team lead with 15 appearances last year. He also made a start at Penn State after earning the starting nod once as a freshman. Boehm, Clarke and Dallanegra combined for 19.2 innings in 20 relief appearances a year ago, while Carlin missed most of 2009 at Arkansas-Fort Smith and is coming back from Tommy John surgery.

Th e bullpen does not have quite the experience as the starting unit, but a number of the faces will still be recognizable to Bison fans. Sophomores Russell Seidell and hard-throw-ing Alex Cillo were two of the team’s busiest relievers a year ago, fi ring a combined 37.0 in-nings in 29 appearances. Cillo was 0-4, but picked up two key saves.

Fellow second-year play-ers Cal Tracy and Ryan Ebner, who will focus solely on base-ball after also playing time on the Bison basketball squad as a freshman, will provide depth, along with junior left-hander Matt Foley.

“We have a lot of options to choose from,” mentioned

Depew. “We will develop roles early and I think pitching in general will be a positive for us this year.”

CATCHERSenior B.J. LaRosa returns for his second year as a starter at catcher. After

a two-year apprenticeship behind Shawn Hirsch, LaRosa shined in his fi rst year as a starter. Th e First Team All-Patriot League selection hit .320 with 13 doubles and 23 runs batted in. While he was solid at the plate, LaRosa really made a name for himself behind the plate. In addition to handling the pitch-ing staff with ease, he threw out an amazing 52.8 percent of potential bas-estealers, including 9 of 11 (81.8 percent) in Patriot League regular-season contests.

“B.J. is defi nitely one of the best catchers in the Patriot League,” com-mented Depew. “He is solid on the fi eld and is a strong leader for our team.”

Senior Kevin Drozin and sophomore Scott Reed will serve as LaRosa’s backups. Drozin started seven games a year ago.

FIRST BASEAfter a freshman year where he was predominantly a pitcher, Doug Shrib-

man moved into the starting lineup at fi rst base last year as a sophomore. Th e tall right-hander was a Second Team All-Patriot League selection and was named to the Patriot League All-Tournament Team. He quickly became one of the team’s top hitters, talling a .360 average while hitting six home runs and driving in 42 runs. His 15 doubles led the squad and he ended the campaign with an 18-game hitting streak intact.

Pitchers Seidell and Ebner served as the durable Shribman’s backups last year and will likely do the same this year.

MIDDLE INFIELDDepew has little concern with his middle infi eld as seniors Ben Yoder (2B)

and Ben Allen (SS) are slotted to start there. Yoder started at second base in 2007 and 2008 and began the 2009 cam-

paign there, but moved to third base a handful of games into the season and remained. He is moving back to the right side of the infi eld after posting a solid year with a .323 batting average, seven home runs and 35 RBIs. He also recorded a pair of two-homer contests and earned his second consecutive Sec-ond Team All-Patriot League nod.

Allen has started 83 consecutive games at shortstop and is a three-year starter who will move into the top 10 in program history in starts before Patriot League play begins. He led the team with a .366 average and scored a team-high 47 runs last year. Allen now ranks eighth in program annals with 103 runs scored.

“Our middle infi eld will be good this year with those two guys,” said De-pew. “It is nice to have veterans up the middle and I expect them to continue the success they have had the last three years.”

A number of freshmen will serve as backups in the middle infi eld, includ-ing Scott Glass and Robb Scott.

THIRD BASEYoder and Sokirka held down the third base position last year, but Depew

expects sophomore David Duff ett to step into the starting role this spring. Th ird base and center fi eld are the only two positions the Bison do not have a returning starter.

A tall right-handed hitter, Duff ett appeared in 15 games a year ago, start-ing six. He drove in a season-high three runs in his fi rst Patriot League ap-pearance against Army.

OUTFIELDSenior Andrew Brouse, who joined Yamaguchi and LaRosa on the All-Pa-

triot League First Team last year, sophomore Bob Donato and junior Drew Constable are returning outfi eld starters, while sophomore Gerald Runyan was perhaps Bucknell’s best hitter during the fall season.

Brouse, a two-year starter in right, put together one of the better seasons by a Bison hitter in recent memory as he hit .330 with 10 home runs and 57 RBIs and ranked in the top fi ve in the Patriot League in fi ve off ensive catego-ries.

“You know what you are going to get from Andrew,” praised Depew. “He had a great year last year and we hope he can continue that success this sea-son.”

Donato and Constable split time in left fi eld last year and both should see increased playing time this season. Donato was solid at the plate and hit for the cycle during the team’s spring break trip to Florida. Constable hit .356 playing in left, at designated hitter and coming off the bench. Th e right-hander smashed a pair of home runs, drove in 15 runs and scored 19 in just 28 games.

Runyan saw limited action last spring, but Depew was impressed with the Milton, Pa., native’s fall performance and sees a larger role for him in 2010.

A host of other players, including Mark Figgie, Matt Lamore and Joe De-Marzo, who missed last year with an arm injury, will vie for playing time in the veteran outfi eld.

Guided by four-time Patriot League Coach of the Year, Gene Depew, the Bucknell baseball team annu-ally ranks near the top of the Patriot League. Th e Bison have been especially successful over the last 13 years, fi nishing in the top two in the Patriot League eight times, winning three Patriot League Tournament titles and claiming the regular-season crown six times. Ad-ditionally, Depew has guided Bucknell to four NCAA Tournament appearances over that span.

Since 1996, Bucknell has broken the 20-win plateau 11 times, including three 30-win campaigns, and De-pew’s career winning percentage of .465 (520-597-7) is the best at Bucknell since William Lane’s career ended in 1957.

Last spring Depew helped the Bison earn their sixth regular-season Patriot League title as he oversaw

a 13-7 conference campaign.In 2008, Depew guided Bucknell to perhaps the biggest win in program history

when it defeated No. 4 nationally ranked Florida State 7-0 in the fi rst round of the NCAA Tournament. It was just the fourth time a Patriot League team won an NCAA postseason game.

On an individual level, Depew has won the Patriot League Coach of the Year award four times (1993, 1996, 2003, 2009), has had three Patriot League Pitchers of the Year (Mike Tomko, 1996; Mike Anders, 1998; Kevin Miller, 2003), three Players of the Year (Kevin Silverman, 1996; Frank Fresconi, 2000; Jason Buursma, 2008) and two Rookies of the Year (Phil Futrick, 2003; Ben Yoder, 2007). Depew has also led 59 student-athletes to 89 Patriot League fi rst- and second-team ac-colades. In the classroom, Bucknell baseball has had 11 ESPN Th e Magazine Aca-demic All-Americans since 1992, including Jason Buursma, who was named to the fi rst team in 2008.

A 1971 Bucknell graduate, Depew is entering his 29th season as the Bison’s head coach and has the longest tenure of any coach in Bucknell baseball history. He has directed his teams to 520 victories, nearly four times the amount of any coach in school history. To honor that, Bucknell’s baseball fi eld was renamed De-pew Field during the 2003 season.

A native of Miffl intown, Pa., Depew was the recipient of both bachelor and master of science degrees in education from Bucknell. Football was the fi rst sport for which Depew was a coach, as he oversaw the Bison gridders’ defensive line from 1972-1992. It was in 1974 that Depew began his current occupation, fi rst as an assistant coach for the baseball team until 1981, after which he assumed the lead role.

As an undergraduate, Depew was a standout football player for the Bison. He was a three-year letterwinner and co-captained the squad in 1970. He played ev-ery position on the defensive line, and was described by his head coach as “being as hard-nosed as they come. He has excellent speed and size for a defensive line-man.” In 1969, he was named All-Middle Atlantic Conference honorable mention. Depew has two brothers who also played football for Bucknell, Terry (’73) and Alvin (’81). Gene and his wife, Debbie, reside in Miffl inburg and are the parents of a daughter, Erin, a 2006 graduate of Bucknell, and a son, William, a member of the Class of 2010.

Former University of Arkansas pitcher Scott Heather begins his sixth season as pitching coach for the Bison. Under Heather’s direction, Bucknell’s pitch-ing staff has posted an ERA of under 4.50 three times in his fi rst fi ve years. Th e staff had a 4.30 ERA in 2006, marking the team’s lowest since 1983 (4.10).

During his tenure, Heather has tutored a number of outstanding pitchers, including 2008 graduates Ja-son Buursma and Mathew Wilson. Th ose two former Bison claimed back-to-back Patriot League ERA titles, while Buursma earned a pair of First Team All-Patriot League selections as a relief pitcher. Wilson, who was the 2007 Patriot League ERA champion, was a Sec-ond Team All-Patriot League selection in 2008, broke the school record for career shutouts (5) and pitched a complete-game shutout against nationally ranked

Florida State in the NCAA Tournament.Last year, Heather helped current junior Trey Frahler and then-senior Chris

Yamaguchi fi nish second and third, respectively, in the Patriot League ERA race. Yamaguchi bounced back from arm surgery, while Frahler improved his ERA by nearly 6.00 from his rookie campaign.

Heather has seen a pitcher from the Bison staff selected in three of the last four Major League Baseball Drafts. Buursma was drafted in 2007 (42nd round by Seattle Mariners) and 2008 (25th round by St. Louis Cardinals), while Kyle Walter was selected in the 18th round of the 2006 draft by the Toronto Blue Jays.

Arkansas ’03

worked closely with Walter during his days in Orange and Blue to transition from position player to pitcher.

Prior to joining the Bison, Heather served as an assistant coach for Arkansas-Fort Smith from 1999 to 2004.

Heather began his playing career at Arizona Western College in Yuma, Ariz., where he was MVP of the 1996 team that was ranked third nationally, before mov-ing on to Arkansas. Heather lettered for the Razorbacks as a pitcher in 1997 and 1998, then became a student assistant in 1999 when Arkansas won its fi rst South-eastern Conference championship. He also pitched professionally for the Duluth Dukes of the Northern League in 1998.

Lewisburg native Jim Gulden enters his fourth sea-son as an assistant coach for Bucknell and is responsible for working with the Bison hitters and catchers while also serving as the team’s game-day bullpen coach.

Gulden was drafted out of Lewisburg High School, where he graduated in 2000, by the Montreal Expos in the 47th round. He attended Virginia Tech and was a member of the Hokies’ baseball squad for two years be-fore transferring to Cleveland State, where he gradu-ated in 2005 with a degree in communications.

Gulden previously served as head junior varsity baseball coach and varsity assistant coach at Lewisburg High School.

A.J. Yoder, the older brother of current Bison se-nior infi elder Ben Yoder, is the newest addition to the Bucknell baseball coaching staff . Th e 2009 graduate of Virginia Military Institute earned a degree in psychol-ogy while also playing all four years on the diamond for the Keydets.

An accomplished infi elder, Yoder ranked in the top 10 of 11 diff erent categories in the VMI record books at the time of his graduation, and he set the program single-season record with 80 hits as a senior. Yoder stands third on the career hits list with 221, while his 10 career triples and 46 career hit by pitches place him second on both those ledgers.

Th e Bucknell baseball team’s strength and condition-ing is in the hands of Robert Curtis, a former Bucknell football coach, and strength and conditioning coordina-tor Jerry Shreck.

They have at their disposal Bucknell’s top-notch 15,000 square foot Krebs Family Fitness Center, which opened during the 2002-03 school year.

Th e general philosophy of the Bison strength program is year-round periodization with a high-intensity base, supplemented with functional and sport-specifi c train-ing. Training programs for most teams will employ ex-plosion techniques with power bands and pliometrics.

Th e ultimate goal of the strength and conditioning program is the prevention of injuries and training athletes to their peak physical condition, as opposed to training for bodybuilding.

As the head football coach from 1975-85, Curtis compiled a 48-56-3 record. His 48 wins are tied for the most wins by any coach in school history.

Continuing the stream of impressive facility upgrades in recent years at the Bucknell West Fields complex, focus has now shifted to the Bison softball and base-ball venues. During the off season, Depew Field received a new playing surface as a grass-like artifi cial turf was installed. Th e initial stage of the renovation of Depew Field focuses on improving the student-athlete components of the facility. In the spring of 2010, following the conclusion of the varsity playing season, renovations will continue with the replacement of existing dugouts, fencing, backstop systems and other facility improvements.

In its second decade of combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 23 men and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate,

Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy as full members, and Fordham and Georgetown as associate members. Th ese institutions are among the oldest and most

prestigious in the nation and their alumni have, and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country.

Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked fi rst each year among all Division I conferences

awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. Th e League fi nished at the top spot with 96 percent of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 76 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.

Th e Patriot League’s mission is simple, to provide successful competitive ath-letic experiences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society.

During the 2008-09 academic year, Patriot League student-athletes and teams accomplished the following:

• 14 student-athletes earned ESPN Th e Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America honors

Th e Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of ex-cellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University.

Th e Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their fi rst priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high na-tional ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. Th e coaches’ and staff ’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek.

Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating chal-lenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff , as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell.

Th e Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the high-est extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competi-tion maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Buck-nell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, refl ects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell.

A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. Th e Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA.

Th e department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.
