CommDay 2023, to be held Friday, April 21, is a chance to take a glimpse into your future, a chance to see what aspect of the broad field of communication might be something you’d like to think about. Maybe you’d like to look into being a sports broadcaster or a reporter, like any of the six Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists who went to St. Bonaventure.
Welcome to CommDay, Friday, April 21, 2023
CommDay at St. Bonaventure gives you a chance to learn about many types of communication. We’ve made many changes over the past couple of years and we’ve listened to our participating high school advisers. Here are some key updates:
- Our CommPetition (optional for all schools attending CommDay) will now allow you to submit your best work and not miss any sessions.
- We will have several interactive workshops during two sessions in the morning and an optional session in the afternoon.
- The St. Bonaventure University bookstore will be open! CommDay participants get 20% off.
- As always, CommDay is free.
