SBU's SIFE Embraces Africa!

Africa Team Gives Presentation in NYC:

Last Wednesday, April 1st, the Embrace It Africa team presented to alumni, family, and friends in midtown NYC. The event was sponsored by John Boucher, Bonaventure alum and KPMG partner at the Heritage Training Center on Park Avenue at the KPMG office.

The embrace it Africa team, MBA student Andrew Mantilia, seniors Erin Danahy, Lindsay Pohlman and Zachary Rodriguez and freshman Lauren Morris, presented their work and progress since the projects beginning last year. Their goal was to provide those who live farther away with information on the Africa project and show what St. Bonaventure students are doing to help those in need. The hour-long presentation included a slideshow of pictures and information and a question and answer session.

The team believes that it was a very successful event and hopes to have similar nights in more cities this spring.
