Welcome to the Class of 2023!

Nothing excites those of us in higher education more than the arrival of first-year students to campus during the summer months. For four days in June and another three in July, Bloomsburg University’s Class of 2023 spent time on campus for our summer orientation sessions.

These sessions provided our students a critical opportunity to take those first steps from their high school days to their college years. Our colleagues in student affairs work hard throughout the year to prepare for these sessions and ensure that they are both informative and fun — a big thank you to our staff members and all student volunteers for their efforts on behalf of the incoming class.

To the Class of 2023, welcome to BU! We look forward to great things from you, and I know you are ready for the challenges and opportunities ahead. With grit and determination, you will show those who may have doubted you in the past to watch what you can accomplish at BU.

You’re ready to thrive and excel, and inspire those who follow in your path. I also encourage you to get involved with the many clubs and activities at BU. We offer countless opportunities for you to explore and develop as a person in and out of the classroom. Don’t sit back and be a follower — be a Husky and lead the pack!

To parents and guardians of the BU Class of 2023, you have done your part to prepare your child for the next four years. You have instilled in them the character and confidence to meet all challenges head-on. Watch what they can unleash in the years ahead.

Again, welcome to the Class of 2023 and Go Huskies!
