In an effort to conserve space, the Blough-Weis Library installed electronic compact shelving on the ground floor in 2002. The new shelving held history books and books from the bibliography and index sections. The compact shelving enabled an additional five to seven years of growth.

To celebrate Susquehanna University's 150th year a 300-pound cake, measuring four feet wide and seven feet long and ample enough to feed 1,500 people, was served at the Market Street Festival in downtown Selinsgrove. The cake was made with 6,000 eggs, 300 pounds of flour, 200 pounds of sugar, 100 pounds of butter, 80 gallons of milk and 32.5 cups of vanilla. The cake was created by ARAMARK, the University's food service provider. In this photo, we see University president, Jay Lemons, with ARAMARK staff members who made the cake.

The Chess Club gave the campus community the opportunity to share its love of the game. Shown in this photo are the club's 2004 members.

In January 2001, Clyde's Place opened in the University's newly renovated fitness center. Fresh fruit, soups, salads and bakery items were some of the foods offered. The café was named for Clyde H. Jacobs, who along with his wife, donated one million dollars to the campaign to renovate the athletic facility.
