It s hard to count the number of hats Jack Bishop 57 has worn for Susquehanna. In the 40 years since his graduation, he has been not only an active alumnus, but a parent, a volunteer, a donor, a mentor, a consultant, a host and a fan. It s no wonder he will be honored on Alumni Weekend as recipient of the 1997 Susquehanna University Alumni Association Service Award.
Bishop answers with conviction.
I really never left there in spirit, he says. And even though I didn t find my wife there, she has joined me over the years in supporting Susquehanna. We just had time to be college students, he explains. Going away from home for most of us was an adventure. Living in a community was new and intriguing.
