Meet the Advancement Team


Members of Bona's Advancement Team are available by email, phone or video call. Please reach out to learn how you can have a lasting impact on the university and its students.

A member of the team will also share how you can be a founder of our future with a gift to the Bolder Bonaventure campaign, where we aim to raise $125 million by May 31, 2025!
