Bloomsburg University aspires to:
Founded on wisdom and work ethic. Henry Carver founded Bloomsburg University in 1839, but it’s not like it was easy. After sailing the pirate-plagued seas, teaching coast to coast without modern transportation, and even losing one of his hands (yes, seriously), he realized that the hardworking residents of eastern Pennsylvania shouldn’t have to leave their town to find a world-class education. So he carved out our spot on the hill where education would be accessible, work ethic would be non-negotiable, and Huskies would always have a home.
We believe that opportunity is created—fought for by individuals with a clear vision and fierce determination to achieve. This is why we show up every day, on a mission to transform the lives of our students so that they can succeed while lifting others up. This is the attitude found within every Husky. At Bloomsburg University, creating opportunity for our region, and beyond, has been our vision since the very beginning.
