Susquehanna Champions make Susquehanna stronger, one student experience at a time.
Lifelong connections with alumni have a direct, tangible impact on student success and on SU’s reputation. Alumni volunteerism, advocacy and giving have created additional internships and research opportunities for current students, inspired more prospective students to choose SU, and helped to improve local communities all over the world through service activities.
Anyone who fulfills an item in all five Champion areas is recognized as a Susquehanna Champion for their commitment to Susquehanna’s continued success. Champions are listed in the honor roll of donors and on the SU website. They are invited to VIP events, like Milestones and the Champions tailgate tent during Homecoming Weekend, and receive free admission to many Susquehanna events.
The Champions program is renewable annually, because we need ongoing support and volunteerism to support student success. SU will keep you informed of your progress and remind you when it is time to re-affirm your Champion status.
NEW THIS YEAR—If you struggle to fulfill one of the champion areas or think you already completed an activity that should qualify, let us know and you may receive approval for your WILD CARD “River Hawk Write-In” submission. Simply tell us about your activity at alumni@susqu.edu and we’ll let you know if it’s approved.
Whether you support scholarships, athletics or any area you are passionate about, a gift of any size has an immediate impact on our students. The number of alumni who give also impacts our college guide ranking, which helps our reputation. Thank you for your continued support of SU.
