51³Ô¹Ïapp is proud to be a collaborative partner with local, state and federal governments and community leaders.


The Office of Government & Community Relations serves as the principal liaison between the university and all levels of governmental, community and business organizations.

We also encourage our students to exercise their civic duties through voter registration drives, community-based projects, invited speakers, political activities and advocacy on and off campus.  

St. Bonaventure is committed to fostering relationships with our neighbors through outreach, service and collaborative projects. Please feel free to reach out to us, whether you have general questions or would like to partner with the university on a particular project.

If you are a visiting parent, St. Bonaventure graduate or friend of the university, please make sure to explore everything the greater Olean area and Cattaraugus County have to offer.
