'Ray Bucknell! My life has forever been altered by my experiences at Bucknell. Having graduated in '02 I was fortunate enough to be there at the turn of the century and at a time when many historic events unfold. Looking around at the world we live in today I can't believe that few students on campus had cell phones until my senior year. Few students even had laptops.
Having grown up in a small rural PA community going to Bucknell was a way for me to see the world through the eyes of my professors, fellow students, and my own travels during college. Whenever someone asks me what
