Steve Holmes 79 majored in accounting at Bucknell but took nearly enough art & art history courses to earn a minor.
When he got out of the classroom and into his first job as a CPA for what is now Deloitte in New York City, where the expectations were high and the pace often frantic, Holmes found himself needing to draw on both of his specialties. I was fresh out of college, and I was thrust into dealing with CFOs and controllers of big companies like Mitsubishi and Dean Witter, Holmes says. My background in art history allowed me to talk with people who were at a different level.

In a transformative educational experience, a professor plants a seed in the mind of a student a seed that may take many years to fully flower. Psychology and Animal Behavior Professor Douglas Candland planted a seed in his student, Glen Tullman 81, and continued for the next 40 years to nurture that seed. Now Tullman is honoring that enduring relationship with a major gift of $6 million to Bucknell University.
