St. 山ǿ

A Bolder Bonaventure campaign priorities


From academics to athletics and campus life to community engagement, a St. Bonaventure education is second to none. It's why nearly all 山ǿ graduates (an eye-popping 97 percent of our alumni) say that if they were to find themselves back in high school tomorrow, St. Bonaventure would be their first and only choice of schools. Your support of A Bolder Bonaventure will help ensure we're a first choice for generations to come.

 

Dennis R. DePerro School of Health Professions


The Dennis R. DePerro School of Health Professions is a vibrant hub on campus, offering in-demand graduate and undergraduate programs in state-of-the-art facilities in a completely refurbished Francis Hall.

While the school’s early success is exciting, more support is needed to fully realize a broader health care learning environment.

    Division I Athletics


    Our student-athletes are among Bona's best and brightest students. We must provide facilities that mirror their desire to compete and win.

    The world of the NCAA Division I is ultra-competitive, and while our teams are highly regarded, we are not keeping pace with our Atlantic 10 peers. It is time to transform St. Bonaventure’s athletics facilities.

    Jandoli School of Communication


    Our story is steeped in success. For more than 70 years, the Jandoli School of Communication has distinguished itself as a world-class program. 

    Jandoli School alumni include instantly recognizable and highly regarded communications professionals, such as Dan Barry of the New York Times, ESPN's Adrian "Woj" Wojnarowski, and three-time New York Sportswriter of the Year Mike Vaccaro of the New York Post.
      
    The school's home in the Murphy Professional Building is long overdue for a makeover to ensure that this enviable record of success continues.

    Academic Mission and Student Experience


    Every initiative at St. Bonaventure is designed to offer students an intellectual journey that explores a larger context for their personal, professional and civic lives.

    Franciscan Mission and Ministries

    Saint Bonaventure, our patron, taught that “there is no knowledge without love.” In this spirit, we educate the whole of our students, their hearts as well as their minds.

    Alumni recount time and again how they knew St. Bonaventure was the school for them the moment they first set foot on campus as prospective students. They sense something different about this place, a recognition that we are an academic and spiritual community that affirms the dignity of every individual and forges bonds of mutual acceptance and understanding.

    We offer a transformative experience, inspiring students to embrace a lifetime commitment to service and citizenship. As we say, once a Bonnie, always a Bonnie.

    Doubly grateful

    “I was fortunate to work for Ford Motor Company as a product designer during the summer. I'm so grateful to Bona's User Interface Design elective, where I learned that design is a part of computer science and something I can pursue long term.”
