The Mychal Judge Center Tour of Ireland is from June 25 to July 4, 2013, and guests will visit the cities of Dublin, Galway, Derry and Belfast on this guided-learning tour of iconic cultural and historical venues. The cost is $2,580 per person and includes round-trip airfare from JFK to Dublin.

The Bonaventure Fund: Your Partnership, Your Impact

Consider this: College grads will typically earn $1,000,000 more throughout their lifetime than high school grads, translating to a return on investment (R.O.I.) of $12 for every $1 invested in a student’s education. SBU’s 440 grads in 2012 equal a $440,000,000 impact made on communities throughout the world, thanks to your generosity.

Take Note!  Your next issue of Bonaventure magazine will arrive in early 2013.
