A Note from the President
They were also introduced to our new Career and Professional Readiness co-curricular program, which is an investment by the University to offer accelerated professional development opportunities for all students beginning in their first year. The ultimate purpose of this new model is to enhance the marketability of our graduates. As active partners with our students, the University believes each St. Bonaventure graduate will not only sustain and succeed in their professional career, but will also become involved in their community. Sustainable efforts can also be seen in day-to-day campus life. Sr. Suzanne Kush, C.S.S.F., chair of the Sustainability Coordinating Committee and director of the Franciscan Center for Social Concern, has been working wtih students to incorporate sustainable choices on campus. This year, half of Townhouse 23 has decided to "Go Green." The four eco-friendly apartments house sixteen students who have voluntarily agreed to make multiple sustainable choices. These choices include walking or biking to class instead of driving, recycling, and turning off utilities when not in use. They also compost and take their compost weekly to Canticle Farm, a non-profit Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm located in Allegany. I look forward to seeing many of you during 2011 Reunion Weekend (June 9, 20 and 11). I am pleased to share that the McCarthys of Buffalo — alumni Bob, ’76, and Ann, ’74 — will be our guest speakers for the Devereux/Seraphim Breakfast. Bob, Ann and their son, Dan, '10, served as editors for “The Good Journey: 150 Years of History at St. Bonaventure University.” Based on the research of longtime St. Bonaventure history Professor Edward Eckert, Ph.D., the 160-page coffee table book highlights the first 150 years of the University. The McCarthys will be on hand for a book signing immediately following the breakfast. Advance orders for the book are now being taken (see below). As you read the articles on Robert, '58, and Carole Jones, and Sarah Van Remmel, '14, you will get a sense of the sustainable fundraising efforts of which I am so deeply thank for each and every day. It is you, as one of our loyal Devereux donors, who allow the University to sustain its daily priorities. I hope you enjoy this Devereux E-Newsletter issue. If you have not yet made your annual Devereux gift, you can do so before May 31 at www.sbu.edu/donate. Pax et Bonum, _________________________________________ Advance orders now being taken for 150-year journey through St. Bonaventure history
