I hope our students have had a good first week of classes as we begin this new semester. Welcome back and a happy spring semester to all!
Just before the winter break, we concluded the fall semester with several major announcements. First, BU received from alumnus Steph Pettit ‘89 a $10 million donation, a transformational gift that will benefit generations of Huskies to come. In recognition of this gift, BU will rename its athletic complex the Bloomsburg University Pettit Athletic Complex.
In addition, Michael ’85 and Beth Boguski have committed $500,000 to the Bloomsburg University Foundation to support experiential learning opportunities for students. In recognition of their generosity, BU has renamed the dean’s suite in the Zeigler College of Business in their honor. I am ever grateful to Mike and Beth Boguski, and to Steph Pettit, for their continued generosity and support of BU.
Lastly, we were pleased to announce last December the addition of two new leaders to the Husky Family: Dr. Daryl Fridley will become our new Dean of the College of Education beginning in March 2020; and former Husky great Frank Sheptock ’86 is our new head football coach.
I look forward to seeing our students, faculty and staff, and alumni and friends around campus this semester, as well as at various sporting events on upper campus. Happy 2020 and Go Huskies!
