Bonaventure: The Magazine of St. Bonaventure University


pursuing your passion
{Do you want to share your passion?}
 

We asked SBU alums to tell us what they’re passionate about — and they didn’t disappoint. They opened their hearts (and captured ours), sharing stories steeped in courage, compassion and bold innovation.


Clearly, St. Bonaventure alumni are living out loud and loving every minute of it. From the waters of Nantucket Sound to the railways of the Pacific coast, and many points in between, here are their stories.
