St. Bonaventure University alumnae from the ’50s and ’60s will share their experiences as some of the first resident women on campus during a panel discussion on Monday, March 16.
“In honor of the University’s 150th anniversary and in celebration of Women’s History Month, St. Bonaventure is proud to welcome these extraordinary women back to campus,” said Dr. Emily Sinsabaugh, vice president of University Relations.

The alumnae will be joined by current St. Bonaventure students for a discussion about their undergraduate experiences.
“We’re looking forward to some engaging dialogue to learn more about what trails our faculty, staff and students are blazing today,” Sinsabaugh said.
The program is open to the public.
“We especially welcome local alumnae to be part of this special evening,” added Sinsabaugh.
