Susquehanna University - 1990 to 1999

In 1999, Smith Hall underwent a renovation and expansion as seen in this photo. The three story, double wing building that houses freshmen male and female students, was built in 1961.

Shown is the smoking policy as seen in the 1992 student handbook. Smoking was allowed then in student rooms as long as every one in the room agreed to it. The Residence Life Office was now offering the option of smoke-free residence hall wings. Smoking was permitted in individual, self-contained offices, the third floor bathroom in Selinsgrove Hall, and the side lobbies of Weber Chapel Auditorium. The Physical Education Center and Health Center were the only truly smoke-free areas on campus at this time.

The student run public relations firm, Sterling Communications was established in October of 1992. By 1993, the group had become quite accomplished. A publicity drive for Sun Home Health Services Inc., which included the drafting and release of press releases as well as the creation of a public service announcement for WQSU-FM were among jobs well done. Members of the group are seen here in their 1993 yearbook photo.

Administered by the Financial Aid Office, the Federal Work Study Program offered students part-time work at various locations on campus. The cover of the 1990 Student Employment Handbook was designed by Catherine Dorko, Susquehanna class of 1988.

The aim of the Study Buddy Project was to help Selinsgrove Area Middle School students with their study skills while at the same time presenting a positive role model in the hopes of boosting self esteem. This image shows the Study Buddy members in their 1993 yearbook photo.

Although Susquehanna University was founded as a Lutheran school, a variety of religious life events and organizations are available on campus to accommodate the religious backgrounds of all students. Several examples of these organizations are the Catholic Campus Ministry, Hillel, which supports the campus Jewish community, and Chapel Council.

Sponsored by M. A. R. (Men Against Rape) The first "Take Back the Night" rally was held on April 30, 1992. Its purpose was to raise awareness of sexual assault. Numerous speakers initiated the start of the rally, which was followed by a march with participants chanting and holding banners.
