Another Beautiful
Homecoming!
A great weekend was
had by all who attended
Homecoming Reunion
Weekend 2010. We had
record attendance and
the weather was
beautiful. If you couldn't be with us, we missed you.
Here is a clip of some messages recorded by
alumni and a photo album. If you want to identify
anyone in the photos, please tell us the number of
the photo and send information to
alumni@susqu.edu.
Homecoming Reunion Weekend 2011 is Sept. 1618. Mark your calendars and reserve your hotel
rooms now-the Hampton Inn and Selinsgrove Inn
are already booked! Shuttles do run from hotels in
Selinsgrove/Shamokin Dam as well as the Best
Western hotel in Lewisburg.
If your graduation year ends in 1 or 6, and you
would like to volunteer to help plan your reunion,
please contact Becky Deitrick.
Thank You, Reunion Classes
Thank you to all of the 2010 reunion classes for
making Homecoming Reunion Weekend 2010 one
of the most successful in Susquehanna's history. It
was an incredible weekend. Not only were we able
to walk down memory lane, but we were reminded
of how much Susquehanna University has touched
our lives and made us the people we are today.
Congratulations to all of the reunion classes! Your
gifts for SU totaled more than $1.9 million. A
special thank you to the Class of 1975 for raising
the most-more than $718,000!
Every gift will make a difference in a student's life.
Thank you!
Alumni Connections Help Students
Networking has long been a benefit for
Susquehanna alumni, and we've heard many
stories of helpful connections made among alumni.
But networking can also be useful to current
students. Kati Frantz '11 has learned this firsthand
and developed a mentor relationship with
Jameson Troutman '02.
The two first connected
before Frantz went to study
abroad in London last
spring. Troutman's
connections have helped
her meet people with
valuable experience while
abroad and at Chase
headquarters last summer.
Frantz has met his
colleagues and others, and
learned a great deal about
event planning, her chosen
career path.
"He is always thinking of me and how he can help,"
she says. "He provides me with ongoing guidance
and has revised my resume about five times."
You can develop a similar relationship with a
Susquehanna student. Go to the "Get Involved"
section of SU Bridge and look for information on
becoming a mentor and providing
internship/employment advice.
Candlelight Service to be Shared
Susquehanna University's annual Christmas
Candlelight Service will be held Dec. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
in Weber Chapel Auditorium. The Christmas
Candlelight Service is one of Susquehanna's most
cherished traditions, with more than 1,600
members of Susquehanna University and
surrounding communities gathering in the chapel.

James Summers '64 received the Service Award,

Business advisory board.
The service includes
candle lighting and carols,

the season. The Rev.
