A Bridge Over Troubled Streets
Read more: A Bridge Over Troubled StreetsFast cars, limited crosswalks, and no crossing guards. To many these seem like the situations that occur on busy urban streets, but for many students living in The Honeysuckle and 500 Club apartments this is just a part of their daily commute in crossing Lightstreet Road on their way to campus. The Bloomsburg University’s student Community Government Association (CGA) and the University noticed this daily struggle and are discussing the possibility of constructing a pedestrian bridge to better accommodate students. This second pedestrian bridge would extend from the Honeysuckle and 500 Club apartments to campus in between the Haas Center…

An Interview with Bloomsburg University President David Soltz
Read more: An Interview with Bloomsburg University President David SoltzMany of us have the impression that given a week off from school due to a natural disaster, the typical college student would go home to see family or take a road trip to visit friends. The scenario we envision would probably not include staying in a flood-ravaged town without running water and scooping sewage-laced river mud out of a home twelve blocks away from the student’s apartment.

In addition, the entire university community — faculty, staff, students, and administrators — came together…
