Administrative History
In May 1968, the Bucknell University Christian Association was renamed Concern Through Action (CONTACT) and often referred to as C.A. In 1971, the name was changed to Concern and Action. It was an active student group advised by James Hammerlee, director of Student Programs, and later guided by Ruth Burnham in the office of Student Activities, that organized activities included colloquy programs, firesides, freshman camp, and volunteer/social services. It dissolved in 1985 due to lack of interest.
