Forever a Husky: Message from BU Alumni Association President, Todd Argenziano '89

Welcome to the Alumni Association!  There are over 75,000 Bloomsburg University Alumni living throughout the world and thriving as successful professionals. We are honored to have you as a member of our prestigious group.

Every time I step on campus, I feel the enthusiasm, dedication, desire to succeed and moxie from students, faculty and staff alike. There is a feeling of pride that emanates throughout the entire University that sets our institute apart from all others. I am extremely proud to call myself a Bloomsburg University Husky!

Huskies take care of their own. That’s why I encourage you to seek out and participate in opportunities that help benefit current students as well as other alumni. The university is always looking for alumni to share their time and talents in ongoing events that were designed to help increase each student’s opportunity to succeed.

Take advantage of the regional alumni networking events that the Bloomsburg University Alumni Association has to offer.  Gather, socialize and network with alumni from different industries who reside in your community.  Take some time to explore these pages, the BU Alumni Association Facebook page, and the LinkedIn BU Alumni group for campus events, regional alumni networking events and volunteer opportunities.

However you choose to stay involved with Bloomsburg University, please know that the leaders of the Alumni Association, along with the Office of Alumni and Professional Engagement, will be there to support and guide you along the way.

I will always call Bloomsburg University “home” and I truly hope you have an opportunity to come back on campus to see the amazing transformations that are taking place. I hope you always keep BU close to your heart, and I look forward to meeting you at Homecoming or any number of BU events throughout the year.

Go Huskies!!
