CUNNINGHAM CENTER FOR MUSIC AND ART The Cunningham Center is home to Stretansky Concert Hall, a magnificent 320-seat venue for music recitals and concerts. Its modular acoustic system is designed to enhance the sound of vocal as well as instrumental performances. The center also houses faculty offices, classrooms, music composition and graphic design studios, group rehearsal areas, a fully equipped photography space, recording facilities, and a wing of practice rooms and instrument lockers.

NATURAL SCIENCES CENTERNew in 2010, our 81,000-square-foot science building is the largest academic building on campus. This $33 million, state-of-the-art project has achieved silver-level LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification and offers 19 teaching and research labs, 30 preparatory and support spaces, and a rooftop greenhouse. Home to the biology, chemistry, ecology, and earth and environmental sciences programs, the building demonstrates Susquehanna’s commitment to a sustainable future.

APFELBAUM HALLApfelbaum Hall is home to the Sigmund Weis School of Business and the communications department. As a high-tech, wireless learning center, it includes a real-time stock trading room, two television studios, a video-editing room, multimedia classrooms, computer labs, and numerous small-group study rooms to enable collaborative teamwork between students and faculty.

CHARLES B. DEGENSTEIN CAMPUS CENTERThe campus center houses the Lore Degenstein Gallery and its nationally recognized exhibitions; Susquehanna’s 12,000-watt student-run radio station, WQSU; offices for the student newspaper and yearbook; and the Division of Student Life. The Department of Theatre is also located in the campus center, with an intimate black-box studio theatre, workshops for producing scenery and costumes, a theatre design lab, and Degenstein Center Theater, a 450-seat performance venue with cutting-edge lighting and sound capabilities designed acoustically to amplify the human voice.

WEBER CHAPEL AUDITORIUMWeber Chapel Auditorium seats 1,500 and hosts numerous university events, including theatre department productions, guest lecturers and visiting artists, in addition to chapel services. The Weber stage is one of the largest revolving stages on the East Coast, with a chancel arrangement on one side and on the other side, performance facilities that employ traditional theatre techniques such as sandbag-and-rope rigging. The building includes a new dance studio, Horn Meditation Chapel, the University Chorale practice room, and the offices of the chaplain and the director of choral activities.

AS A LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE, WE ARE PARTIAL TO THE ARTS. Art, creative writing, music and theatre majors thrive here, honing their crafts under the guidance of professional faculty-mentors. But non-majors also have the opportunity to participate fully in the artistic life of the campus, both in and out of the classroom. Our students spark one another’s creativity by performing in rock bands, publishing poetry in literary journals, creating original films for the annual student film festival and bringing the arts to life in so many other ways.

At Susquehanna, learning happens 24/7, and it’s not just in the classroom. Life skills are learned in the daily interactions with roommates. In the “lessons” of doing your own laundry and managing your own time. Since so much learning takes place in residence halls, Susquehanna guarantees and requires on-campus housing for all four years, although a small number of seniors may live off-campus after being released through a special application process. What better way to grow as a person than to eat popcorn while discussing Nietzsche with your new friends during a midnight study session?

FIRST-YEAR HOUSINGIn your first year at Susquehanna, you will live in one of four centrally located residence halls. These buildings, typically reserved for first-year students, provide a traditional college living environment, with student rooms and communal bathrooms located directly off long hallways. You’ll get to know your hall mates very well as you navigate the college transition together and share life-changing experiences.

HOUSING AFTER THE FIRST YEARStudents have an array of living options following their first year. Ninety percent stay on campus, either continuing to live in traditional-style residence halls like the ones they enjoyed their first year, or opting for suites, townhouses or apartment-style living on the periphery of campus. On-campus housing is guaranteed and required for four years, but approximately 10 percent of students are allowed to live off campus through an application process that might release them from the requirement in their senior year.

UNIVERSITY AVENUEUniversity Avenue connects the campus to downtown Selinsgrove. Many of the houses along this stretch are owned by the university, including the historic president’s house. There are also 17 houses dedicated to students who share specific interests. Life on the avenue is shaped by these affinities among housemates. The Goldstein-Weis Hillel House

is across the street from the the music fraternity’s home, which is not far from the International House. The avenue offers all the conveniences of living on campus along with the amenities of home.

18TH STREET COMMONS New to campus in 2012 is the 18th Street Commons, an intimate urban-chic, apartment-style living complex for upper-class students. Three to four students may live together in one apartment, which offers a private bathroom, kitchen and living room. The complex includes a community building that houses laundry facilities and the Department of Public Safety. Located between the Natural Sciences Center and the Geisinger-Susquehanna Health Center, the 18th Street Commons offers an alternative for students looking for more independence in on-campus housing.

GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER AT SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITYSusquehanna University and Geisinger Health System have partnered to bring a new student health center and health clinic to university students and the greater Selinsgrove community. The 16,000-square-foot facility greatly expands the space, hours of operation, number of practitioners and services that were previously available on campus. Services include pediatric urgent care, dermatology, endocrinology, general pediatrics, laboratory, neurology, neurosurgery, nephrology, orthopedics (including a joint program), physiatry, radiology, rehabilitation, rheumatology, spine medicine, sports medicine and physical therapy, and women’s health.


INVOLVEDget Explore

the possibilities.

STUDENTS AT SUSQUEHANNA ARE WONDERFULLY DIFFERENT, WITH UNIQUE INTERESTS, TALENTS AND ABILITIES. But it’s easy to fit in. Choose from more than 100 clubs and organizations that focus on everything from academics to outdoor adventures. You can try out for one of our 23 varsity teams, and you may join 10 club teams or intramural squads. Expand your mind at an evening lecture. Play chamber music alongside faculty, or showcase your songwriting skills on open mic night at Charlie’s Coffee-house. For pure fun, there’s TRAX, the student-run nightclub/concert/entertainment venue that’s right on campus.

Discover the wonder around you.


THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER VALLEY IS FULL OF WONDER. It boasts some of the clearest waters and best fishing in the country, yet is also home to America’s favorite family-run amusement park. Whether you wish to explore the area’s caves or animal sanctuaries, you’ll want to get out and explore. Even President Lemons joins students in outdoor recreation when he leads the annual hike to the summit of Mount Mahanoy, a tradition for all graduating seniors.

The Susquehannock were the first people to settle the valley at the confluence of the north and west branches of the Susquehanna River.
