St. Bonaventure University was closed to visitors for more than a year during the pandemic, but a lot has happened on campus during the last 18 months.
Extensive renovations have transformed Francis Hall into a state-of-the-art healthcare teaching facility, new academic programs have been developed to meet future workforce needs, and the university is looking to further partnerships with area businesses to expand development and internship opportunities.
