University observes Donate Life Week

The Bona Venture | Samantha Berkhead

The St. Bonaventure community celebrated Donate Life Week last week with a number of activities and initiatives intended to raise awareness throughout the student body.

SIFE Healthcare sponsored several of the activities, which included guest speakers and informational sessions.

Philosophy professor Roderick Hughes, Ph.D., gave the week's keynote speech. After taking leave from teaching due to heart problems last semester, he underwent surgery to get a special device in his heart that gives him extra time while he waits for a heart donor.
