The University is also considering taking advantage of Widen's ability to manage videos. These assets will be repurposed on bucknell.edu, on social media channels, in Bucknell Magazine, in admissions communications, and in countless other print and digital pieces. “We have established an internal DAM user group, represented by different departments within the Division of Communications,” “Bucknell’ About Bucknell University Founded in 1846 and located along the banks of the Susquehanna River in historic Lewisburg, Pa., Bucknell University is the largest and one of the most highly ranked liberal arts universities in the country.
