Walking more than 575 miles on the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain, also known as the Way of St James, with all I needed in a 21 pound pack on my back, was the landscape for an extraordinary spiritual journey. From Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France to Santiago and onward to Finisterre and Muxia which ancient pilgrims referred to as ‘the end of the earth’ and ‘where heaven meets earth’, I was witness to a profound quiet to ‘hear’, experiences that could only be explained as miracles, and a peace of mind that affirmed a belief I already had ~ I am not alone. We are all on our own walk. Learn more about this adventure and the path that may open for you. Buen Camino!

We understand that this is later than normal and that it's also Father's Day weekend. The move was unavoidable, but it was for an important reason.

St. Bonaventure was selected last fall to host the 2023 conference of the New York State Association for College Admission Counseling June 6-9, 2023. Hosting the event is a major coup for the university and will show close to 700 high school and college counselors across the state all this remarkable place has to offer.

At an extremely challenging time for higher education in the Northeast, hosting this event could significantly impact enrollment in the coming years as we get the chance to show key decision-makers in the college search process all we have to offer.

A link to register for on-campus housing can be found your confirmation email after you have registered for reunion and paid the reunion registration fee.

St. Bonaventure University does not profit from Reunion Weekend but invests a significant portion of its annual budget into this program as the largest alumni engagement event of the year. A portion of the costs associated with the weekend is offset through the Reunion Weekend registration fee.

Each person registering for any event and/or on-campus housing during Reunion Weekend will pay a $75 required Reunion Weekend registration fee. This fee helps to offset the costs of Reunion-related expenses, including:

Reunion Weekend print collateral (i.e. Reunion marketing mailers, name tags, event schedules, etc.)

• Reunion supplies including tents, décor, swag, etc.
• Digital download of your class photo
• Staffing and security
• Entertainment including dj’s, and bands
• Registration processing
• Refreshments at Reunion Headquarters (check-in)

Should any guests pay at the door of an event (when available; not guaranteed), without having pre-registered for other Reunion Weekend activities through the university — therefore not paying the Reunion Weekend Registration Fee — the $50 will be added to their event ticket cost at the door.

 

Contact information can be found using our online directory, Bona's Online. Per university policy, the alumni office cannot give out contact information over the phone or via email.

Registration fees offset a portion of the overall reunion costs. Should unforeseen circumstances require you to cancel your registration, refunds must be requested in writing by Friday, May 12. Please send all requests by email to alumni@sbu.edu

Registration opened February 28, 2023.
