Dave Paulsen chats with Steve Oristaglio’77<br />
at a Bison Club reception in Boston.<br />
<strong>Bucknell</strong> has continued its long tradition of<br />
academic and athletic excellence in large part<br />
because of the Bison Club, which provides support<br />
for all of <strong>Bucknell</strong>’s varsity intercollegiate<br />
athletics programs.<br />
Membership in the Bison Club helps the<br />
<strong>Bucknell</strong> athletics programs defray expenses<br />
of recruiting, equipment purchases and team<br />
travel. In fact, Bison Club gifts account for nearly<br />
40 percent of the athletic department’s annual<br />
budget. In recent years, the Bison Club has<br />
received approximately $2 million in donations.<br />
The Bison Club also sponsors the annual<br />
Senior Athletic Awards Banquet, one of the<br />
highlights of the athletic year at <strong>Bucknell</strong>. At the<br />
banquet, each qualified senior student-athlete<br />
is presented with a <strong>Bucknell</strong> ring or watch in<br />
recognition of his or her achievements. Special<br />
awards honor the most outstanding studentathletes<br />
in the senior class.<br />
In addition, the Bison Club sponsors the<br />
<strong>Bucknell</strong> Athletic Hall of Fame, which now<br />
includes 229 members and is located on the<br />
second floor of <strong>Bucknell</strong>’s Gerhard Fieldhouse.<br />
Todd Newcomb, <strong>Bucknell</strong> Class of 1988,<br />
is in his 13th year as the director of the Bison<br />
Club. He is the second full-time director of the<br />
organization since it was founded nearly 50<br />
years ago, following Jim Campbell, who served<br />
in that capacity for 11 years before retiring in<br />
the summer of 2000. In addition to his duties as<br />
senior associate director of athletics for external<br />
affairs, Newcomb coordinates fundraising efforts<br />
for all 27 men’s and women’s varsity sports,<br />
alumni functions and special events.<br />
Working closely with Newcomb and the<br />
director of annual giving to identify and solicit<br />
new annual donors to the Bison Club are director<br />
of athletics development Tom Harvey and<br />
assistant director of athletics development<br />
Terry Conrad. In addition, former <strong>Bucknell</strong><br />
Hall of Fame lacrosse coach Sid Jamieson has<br />
served as a fundraising assistant for the past<br />
eight years.<br />
For more information on supporting the<br />
Bison Club, please call Todd Newcomb at 570-<br />
