Inside Bona's

Inside Bona's is an e-publication in which SBU faculty and staff share professional news, such as publication of a book or paper, presentation or attendance at a conference, or some other achievement or recognition.

Inside Bona's publishes every other Thursday of the fall and spring semesters, except for holidays and breaks in the university calendar. Each edition is emailed to university employees.

Inside Bona's publishes news about SBU faculty and staff, not students. Students may be mentioned in a news item if they share credit for research, co-present with faculty, or in another way directly share in a faculty or staff member's accomplishment.

Publication dates for fall 2025 are Wednesday, Aug. 27, and the following Thursdays: Sept. 11, Sept. 25, Oct. 9, Oct. 23, Nov. 6, Nov. 20 and Dec. 11.
