education in movements toward equity and social justice at local, national and
global levels. Angell Benjamin, a junior English and psychology double-major;
Tiffany Nunez, a senior sociology major, and Jacob Witter, a senior childhood
studies major, gave a presentation titled “Back to the Future: Travels of St.

BONARESPONDS FOR THIS WEEKEND AND WINTER BREAK
BonaResponds will be working this weekend both locally
and again in Breezy Point. The Breezy Point crew will be made up of
alumni and friends from the NYC area. If you have family or friends
that would like to help, have them meet us at the Gut and Pump near
the Baseball fields in Breezy Point at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8. Wear
brown, if at all possible.
Locally, we will be working on Sunday from 10:30 a.m. building a ramp
and other jobs. Meet us behind Murphy or by the BonaResponds vans. Dress
properly
since we will be working outside. Please sign up at http://www.BonaResponds.org.
Over break we will be helping somewhere in the area affected by Sandy.
We do not know where we will be yet since any of several sites are still
in contention. We will go where we can be of
the most assistance. The tentative times for the trip are from Dec.
28, 2012 to Jan. 13, 2013, depending on work and accommodations. Please
sign up at
BonaResponds.org for more information
when it becomes known. We should
know more after this weekend when a few volunteer coordination sites
switch modes into a longer term recovery from storm clean up.
Finally, remember if you are buying items online (from virtually any
store) if you go through http://GoodShop.com and enter BonaResponds as
your cause/charity,
we will get a percentage of what you spend plus you get good deals.

LENNA VISITING PROFESSORSHIP DEADLINE EXTENDED
The Lenna Visiting Professorship Committee is extending
the deadline for proposals for the Spring 2013 semester until Wednesday,
Dec. 12.
The purpose of the professorship is to bring individuals of
national and international stature to St. Bonaventure to enrich the
learning environment and to enhance the university's reputation. The
appointment will enable a school or program to bring in someone whom
it might otherwise not have been able to consider (in terms of cost,
etc). To that end, the minimum tenure for the Lenna Visiting Professor
is two weeks. A nominator can hold any position within the university.
The formal nomination should include:
• rationale for the nomination of candidate, e.g., connections to the core curriculum;
disciplines to be covered; schools/departments that will benefit
•candidate’s
curriculum vitae
•tentative schedule
•suggested timetable
•estimated budget
(including travel, meals, lodging, an honorarium of up to $6,000)
•anything
else that would be useful to the committee in making its determination
Proposals
will be accepted until Wednesday, Dec. 12. A complete list of nomination guidelines
is available by request at jtgodbou@sbu.edu or by phone at 716-375-2649.
