I spent last semester studying abroad. While away from Bonaventure, I was able to gain perspective of what I missed most about being a student here. Without a doubt, that was The BV. As soon as I got back to campus this semester, I had to stop by the Reilly Center to pick up my…
There are few places I’d rather spend my time than in the basement of the Reilly Center. If that seems like a strange statement, well, it is. But then again, it might just seem weird to those who haven’t hunkered down in The Bona Venture newsroom on Wednesdays to put together an entire newspaper in…
