| DEAR PARENTS AND FAMILIES OF NEW ST. BONAVENTURE STUDENTS:
There was much excitement on campus last week as classes began -
our new freshmen and transfer students arrived, and we are thrilled.
Move-in day was busy, and we saw many weary Moms and Dads…but
we hope that the help from the Peer Coaches and the ROTC students
eased your day somewhat. Our commuter students settled in, too,
in their new lounge on the 2nd floor of the Reilly Center. And now,
the “getting settled” time has transitioned to “now
it’s time to get to work”! I hope you know that we all share some of the same nervousness that you might be experiencing - that positive, nervous energy that accompanies a new beginning. Even though we greet new students every August, we all recognize that each entering class is different. It's a new beginning for your family and for us. We are delighted that we'll be going through it with you - together. Please be sure to make frequent visits to our Parents' Web site at www.sbu.edu/parents. And don't hesitate to contact us at parents@sbu.edu. You can expect to receive periodic e-mails from us that will update you on campus happenings. On behalf of our entire community, welcome, once more, to our Bonaventure family. We look forward to seeing many of you again later this month at Family Weekend. Best regards, Dr. Nancy

New book on SBU history A story that took more than 150 years to unfold and more than a decade to research and write is now ready to read. A new coffee-table book, “The Good Journey: 150 Years of History at St. Bonaventure University,” is based on the exhaustive research of longtime St. Bonaventure history Professor Edward Eckert, Ph.D., and edited by the McCarthy family of Buffalo — alumni Bob, ’76, Ann, ’74, and son, Dan, ’10. Watch videos, view historic photos and read an excerpt at www.sbuhistory.com. |
Family Weekend! We know you just said good-bye to your student — but make plans to reconnect during Family Weekend 2011. Activities during the Sept. 23-25 festivities include a street fair in Allegany, a 5K walk-run on campus, a golf tournament, music, a hypnotist, and Casino Night. Watch for updates at www.sbu.edu/FamilyWeekend. |
 St.
Bonaventure’s First-Year Experience and Student Life staff work
hard at making St. Bonaventure's incoming students feel a part of
the campus's fabric. One of the ways new students were introduced
to each other during July Orientation was by working collaboratively
on a number of fun and team-building exercises.
This year, one of their small group projects was to discuss as a team their hopes and aspirations for the next four years at Bona's - then illustrate that onto a small panel of white muslin. |
