By Sam Wilson Associate Editor It sure doesn’t feel like it, but it’s time for this old guy to leave Robinson Hall for the last time as an editor. Little more than two years after then-sports editor Jake Sonner, flanked by Ryan Papaserge and Tyler Diedrich, took me in a creepily empty…
By Kaitlin Lindahl Associate Editor My first time in The Bona Venture’s newsroom was unpleasant. It was late, and I had scampered sleepily down from my room in 3rd Robinson. It was loud – really loud. I forced my brain to concentrate as I stared back at the swirl of colors and…
By Mike Vitron Associate Editor Well, I’ve been dreading this for a while. Here goes nothing. I came to college knowing exactly what I wanted to do for a living. I was going to make the jump from Bonaventure straight to Bristol, Conn. and be a SportsCenter anchor. End of story. …
By Chris Graham Associate Editor My trip down to Robinson 111 didn’t follow the same path as some of my fellow editors, so allow me to tell a story. I was a bad student my freshman year. Grades weren’t a big deal to me. It was a problem I had dealt with…

However, that little witticism didn’t…
By Amanda Klein Advisory Editor The first time I set foot in St. Bonaventure, N.Y., I was an awkward 17-year-old who had already decided where she wanted to go to school, and it sure wasn’t Bonaventure. But, for the majority of the evening tour that August, I couldn’t take my eyes off the beautiful mountains,…
By Tyler Diedrich Editor-in-Chief My diploma and transcript won’t show it, but I double-majored at St. Bonaventure. I’ll wear a maroon journalism and mass communication hood on graduation day, but my fondest memories stem from my other major: The BV. Let me tell my favorite story from my four years here…
