Orientation Leaders

The Orientation Team is here to help you learn what it means to be a Bonnie — before, during, and after the summer orientation program. You’ll get to learn more at your orientation session, but here’s a quick look at the O Team and what they love about St. Bonaventure. We can’t wait to see you this month!
