Local students selected as presidential fellows at Susquehanna University

Several students were selected as presidential fellows for the 2019-20 academic year at Susquehanna University. Each year, approximately 20 sophomore students are selected to be Presidential Fellows. Deans and department heads nominate students who they feel have the academic ability, enthusiasm and interest to benefit from co-curricular discussions of literature, theater and current events.

Local students selected include Jessica Arrigo and Michelle Arrigo, both of Brodheadsville.

During the course of the year, the fellows are assigned two books to read and then discuss with Susquehanna President Jonathan D. Green and his wife, Lynn Buck, and selected faculty and staff. The experience culminates in a trip, usually to New York City or Washington, D.C., to attend a theater production and perhaps interact with an author or artist.

The program was started by former Susquehanna President Joel Cunningham and his wife, Trudy, in 1982.
