Personal Excellence
Student-Athlete welfare is the No. 1 priority of the Bucknell Department of Athletics & Recreation. The scholar-athlete ideal is the guiding principle of the University's participation in Division I athletics, and the University's goal is for student-athletes to receive a high-quality, successful experience both in the classroom and on the playing fields. As such, a number of programs and services are available to help Bison student-athletes achieve that success.
