In 1865, he invested a young woman in
the habit of the Franciscans and appointed
another — whose vows he had authorized
earlier — as superior of a new congregation that worked in Joliet, Ill. (This took
place on the Bonaventure campus.)
That newly appointed superior was Mother
Alfred Moes. She later took up work in
Rochester, Minn., and was directly responsible for inviting William Worrel Mayo to
found the hospital that eventually led to
establishing the Mayo Clinic. Her statue,
alongside that of Dr. Mayo, graces the
plaza at the main entrance of the clinic.
At a time when St. Bonaventure’s contributions to health care professions are
reaching new levels of excellence, it is
time to share this amazing coincidence
— or is it the hand of Providence energizing each generation?
The pages of this edition of Bonaventure
magazine are filled with examples of the
extraordinary contributions our students
and graduates are making to health care

professions across the U.S. and abroad.
In fact, the Franciscan Institute has published Franciscans and Healthcare, edited by another institute alumna, Sr. Elise
Saggau. You can be sure of a special
alumni discount should you choose to
purchase a copy!
As we continue to build upon the success of our students and graduates in
the health care professions, we also continue to ensure that students enrolled in
other courses of study at St. Bonaventure have the opportunity to learn about
the value that the Franciscan perspective
brings to every area of inquiry.
Our School of Business, for example,
engages students in entrepreneurial
service experiences where they use the
business principles and practices they
learn in the classroom to solve realworld social problems locally, nationally
and internationally. This commitment
has been recognized as a national best
practice by the school’s accrediting
agency, the AACSB.
Similarly, the nationally accredited conceptual framework in our School of
Education represents a commitment to
social justice consistent with our Franciscan
tradition. And, of course, our core curriculum, in which every student is enrolled, is
grounded in the Franciscan intellectual tradition, with courses such as “The
Intellectual Journey” that is based upon
the vision of Saint Bonaventure.
We are intentional about the role of the
Franciscan tradition in the academic enterprise because the world is calling for the
values, principles and foundations upon
which our 800-year-old tradition was
founded.
The success of our students and graduates
speaks to the continuing relevance and
importance of the Franciscan tradition
today.
As we celebrate in the pages to follow the
Franciscan influence on health care professions, we also celebrate this influence in all
of the professions and callings of the worldwide St. Bonaventure University family.

enrietta Lacks most assuredly
would have been embarrassed
by the attention: Her image
peered up at St. Bonaventure freshmen
as they arrived for Orientation and were
handed a book in which she plays a
starring role. Across campus, a giant 7foot-tall cutout of her greeted visitors to
the Quick Center for the Arts.
Science writer Rebecca Skloot’s book
chronicles how a poor tobacco farmer
impacted modern medicine and shares
an engaging portrait of a family that
felt betrayed by the scientific establishment.
“The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”
engaged all of our freshmen — and
many beyond our campus community
— in discussions of science issues.
Health Care and the Franciscan Tradition
cussed how HeLa cells have informed
HIV-AIDS research. Ritchie, part of an
international research team that is working to solve major problems in HIV vaccine development and design, also
serves as a faculty member for St. Bonaventure’s study abroad program at the
University of Oxford.
Other All Bonaventure Reads activities
included a film festival, a lecture on
medical ethics by assistant professor of
philosophy Dr. Russell Woodruff, and
class projects that will be displayed in a Poster Session.
“The Immortal Life” impacted
students in different ways.
Many connected with
Henrietta’s daughter Deborah
on the loss of a parent. Others
were drawn to learning about
the landmark discoveries HeLa
cells have played a part in,
from the polio vaccine to gene
mapping.
Author Rebecca Skloot (right) describes the 10 years of research and interviews she accumulated for her book. Freshman Francis P. Matuszak (above) poses a question to Skloot.
St. Bonaventure’s first-year students
were asked to read “The Immortal Life
of Henrietta Lacks,” the All Bonaventure
Reads text that is the cornerstone of this
year’s University 101 course.
“The Immortal Life” is the story of the
forgotten woman behind one of the
most important tools in modern medicine. Lacks’ cancerous cells — taken
from her without her knowledge in 1951
— were the first to grow and survive
indefinitely in culture. The cells, called
HeLa for the first two letters of Lacks’
first and last name, revolutionized medical research, a fact unknown to her family for decades.
The entire campus community was
invited to read the book and participate
in numerous events planned over the
course of the fall semester that opened
up conversations into many of the book’s
themes — medical ethics, racism, and
the availability and cost of health care.
One of the highlights was the author’s
September visit to campus, where she
had dinner with a group of freshmen
before leading a public discussion about
the book. Also welcomed to campus
this fall was Dr. Adam Ritchie, a professor on the research staff at the
University of Oxford, England, who diswww.sbu.edu/bonamag

As their first official college assignment,
first-year students were asked to read
"The Immortal of Henrietta Lacks” and
then write a reflection on it. Thirteen
top essays were chosen to be immortalized in their own way: They were published in a hardcover keepsake book for
each student, and a copy was given to
author Rebecca Skloot during her visit
to campus. You can read the essays at
www.sbu.edu/allbonaventurereads.
Yes, Henrietta probably would have
been embarrassed by the attention, but
I think she would have been proud.

ollowing the
example of
Jesus, education and healing
have been vital
ministries throughout the centuries of
the Church, and so
they find themselves well situated
in the mission of St. Bonaventure
University.
Jesus was both a teacher and a healer.
He told stories that opened listeners to
new ways of seeing themselves, their
neighbors and their world. And he
healed many; for example, he cleansed
a man with leprosy (Mt 8:1-4; Mk 1:4042), gave sight to two people who were
blind (Mt 20:29-34; Mk 10:46-52);
enabled one who was mute to speak (Lk
11:14); cured a woman who was hemorrhaging (Mt 9:20-22; Mk 5:25-34);
and brought a girl back to life (Mt 9:18,
23-25; Mk 5:35-42).
“In faithful imitation of Jesus Christ, the
Church has served the sick, suffering,
and dying in various ways throughout
history.” (United States Catholic
Conference of Bishops, “Ethical and
Religious Directives for Catholic Health
Care Services,” 2001, p. 5)
One of those various ways happened in
the life of Francis of Assisi in the 13th
century. Francis’ encounter with human
beings suffering from leprosy marks the
beginning of his conversion. The ongoing care for suffering sisters and brothers is the experience within which
Francis and his companions are transformed.
“The Lord gave me, Brother Francis,
to begin to do penance in this way:
while I was in sin, it seemed
excessively bitter to me to see lepers.
And the Lord himself led me among
them and I did mercy with them.
And when I left them, that which
seemed bitter to me had been
changed into sweetness of the spirit
and the body. And afterwards I
lingered a little and left the world.”
(Francis’ Testament 1-3, as translated
from the Latin by Dr. Jean François
Godet-Calogeras, professor of
Franciscan Studies, SBU)
“For Francis, lepers became the living
icons of the suffering Christ.” (For more
on this, read Dominic V. Monti, O.F.M.,
“Franciscans and Healthcare: Our
Heritage,” Franciscans and Healthcare:
Facing the Future, edited by Elise
Saggau, O.S.F., pp. 3-28)
Following in the footprints of Jesus, St.
Francis reached beyond himself to
extend mercy and healing to “the least
of our sisters and brothers.” (Mt 25:3146) This was more than treating a disease, leprosy. Rather, it was a deeply intimate encounter and healing relationship
with persons suffering from leprosy.
They had names, and families and personal stories. This encounter and relationship with people who are sisters and
brothers is what has moved Franciscans
throughout the eight centuries since
Francis and Clare. Doing mercy, relating
to others with deep compassion, is itself
healing.

Dr. William Worrall Mayo and his two

St. Mary’s Hospital, which is now a part

The Allegany Franciscans, whose
St. Elizabeth Motherhouse is located
across the street from SBU, have established health care ministry in many
locales and continue to serve as members of Catholic Health East, one of the
largest Catholic health care systems in
the United States. Fr. John Felice, O.F.M.,
a member of Holy Name Province and
former trustee of SBU, ministers to sisters and brothers suffering with mental
illness in New York City through three
St. Francis Residences.
Bona students are learning biology and
chemistry and anatomy and physiology
— and they are learning compassion
and service in the Franciscan tradition.
We are proud that our students are
forming a new way of Franciscan mercy,
to touch and heal a wounded world. As
health care becomes more complicated
and more demanding, we trust that
they will bring healing and hope.
Our first president, Fr. Pamfilo da
Magliano, not only founded our university, but he also founded communities of
brothers and sisters, who have extended
a healing presence through the years to
many people and places.
In his October 1995 pastoral letter, “A
Sign of Hope,” Cardinal Joseph
Bernardin wrote, “We seek to do more
than merely cure a physical illness. Like
Jesus, we heal the whole person. We
care for people in such a way that,
whether or not we can physically cure
their illness, they find strength and comfort in knowing God’s abiding love for
them.” (p.6)

vows here on our campus on Aug. 2,
1865, founded the Franciscan Sisters of

Eco-friendly townhouse offers
‘green’ living for students
It isn’t uncommon to hear Bona students
say they bleed brown, but now some are
bleeding green. This academic year, St.
Bonaventure has turned half of
Townhouse 23 “green.”
Four alumni among group
named to Board of Trustees
Four alumni are among the five newest
members of the University’s Board of
Trustees. Joseph A. DeMaria, Esq., ’79,
William M. Collins, ’76, Marvin Stocker,
’65, and Lynda Goldstein Wilhelm, ’86, and
Bharat Kohli, M.D., have joined the board
since the beginning of fiscal year 2010.
DeMaria is a partner at the law firm of Tew
Cardenas in Miami, Fla. He is a successful
business litigator, construction lawyer and
white collar criminal defense lawyer for the
Florida area.
Collins is a principal of Travers Collins &
Company, one of the largest and most
honored marketing communications firms
in Upstate New York.
Stocker, of Ellicott City, Md., worked in
marketing and sales management positions
for the General Electric Co. for 37 years,
retiring in 2003.
Goldstein Wilhelm, of Charlotte, N.C., is a
consultant for Packard Learning Corp., a
corporate training and executive coaching
company.
Kohli is chief medical officer at Applied
Healthcare Resource Management (AHRM)
Inc. Headquartered in Buffalo’s medical
corridor, AHRM Inc. specializes in applied
health care resource management for clinical trials, data management, post-market
surveillance, regulatory compliance and
many other areas.

The four eco-friendly apartments house
16 students who voluntarily chose to live
there. Their sustainable living choices
include walking or biking to class instead
of driving, recycling and turning off utilities when not in use. They also compost
and bring their compost weekly to
Canticle Farm, a non-profit Community
Supported Agriculture farm in Allegany.
The apartments’ appliances have been
made Energy Star compliant wherever
possible, motion-detection lights have
been installed in key locations, and lowflow shower heads have been installed.
The students are also benchmarking their
electric consumption and using sensors to
measure how often their furnaces are
used.
The first tangible indication that efforts in
the “green” townhouse were paying off
came when electric usage proved to be
81 percent more efficient in September
than in the “control” townhouse. The
“green” unit used only 1,440 kilowatt
hours, compared to 2,608 KW hours in
the “control” unit.

and facilitates discovery of personal faith.
Bishop Edward Kmiec of the Buffalo

the group at the gathering of bishops in
Baltimore in November.
“Plan ahead for storage.”
That was the advice given by other
universities when asked how best
to market and sell a book about
St. Bonaventure’s heritage and history. With that in mind, St. Bonaventure understood that a wellresearched and developed marketing plan would be important in
selling the upcoming book, “The
Good Journey: 150 Years of History
at St. Bonaventure.”
Volunteers assemble more
than 113,000 meals for
Haitian children
On a solemn day of remembrance, hundreds of volunteers filled the Reilly Center
Arena to offer a reminder of man’s nobler
intentions.
Spearheaded by more than 350 St. Bonaventure students and community members, more than 500 volunteers — divided
into four shifts — spent roughly eight
hours Saturday, Sept. 11, packaging more
than 113,000 meals for Haitian children
affected by last January’s devastating
earthquake.
BonaResponds coordinated the event,
drawing assistance from Villa Maria and
Daemen colleges in Buffalo, and school
districts in Olean, Allegany and CubaRushford.
Through pictures, vignettes and a
broad historical account, this coffee-table book will take readers
through the places, events and
people that have shaped the
University over the last century and
a half. Yet, how would the book be
marketed? Where would it be
sold? Who would be interested?
Why would they want to buy it?
Computers, textbooks headed to
Bahamas in Operation Boot Up
St. Bonaventure’s Students in Free Enterprise chapter will
perform the biggest technology transfer in the history of
Grand Bahama Island over the holiday break — shipping
250 computers and 10 pallets of textbooks for use in local

The “green townhouse” also recycled
202.5 lbs. of glass, metals, plastic and
paper.

one-on-one interviews, an online
survey and extensive secondary
research.
Recognizing students among the
target markets, the strategists also
led a focus group with undergraduates studying in the Oxford program. In addition to research, the
team focused on client management, message strategy, creative
concepting, plan writing, budget
analysis, timeline creation, measurement and return on investment.
The final 85-page strategic marketing plan highlighted areas such as
target market analysis, plan objectives, marketing and creative strategies, tactics (web, advertising, PR
and promotions), evaluation tools,
financial analysis, a timeline and
appendixes summarizing key
research findings.
At the culmination of the six
weeks, the strategists presented
the plan to the St. Bonaventure
Oxford community and to VP for
University Relations Dr. Emily
Sinsabaugh and Board of Trustees
member Laurie Branch, who were

St. Bonaventure pre-med student who heads up the program. The students will also deliver 10 pallets of donated
primers and textbooks for the elementary schools.
The team included students and
recent graduates of the University’s
Integrated Marketing

the IMC program.
SIFE’s five-year vision is to set up computer labs in every
elementary school — about 20 in all, including both private and public schools — on Grand Bahama, Aggarwal
said. SIFE is the largest student organization on campus,

captain, crisscrossing the country from St.
Louis to Baltimore and from Canada down
to New Orleans.
Through flashbacks,
we see how these
four men became
friends along their
westward exploration
several years earlier.
The reader is offered
rare glimpses into the
lives of Sacagawea,
Thomas Jefferson,
Francis Scott Key, William Clark, Andrew
Jackson, Napoleon and many others.

“The Mayor of
Strawberry Fields,” a
short documentary
film by Torre
Catalano, ’04, is now
available on Netflix,
the mail-order and
Internet movie service.
The film is also available on Amazon and
other online outlets. Nehst Studios, a new
company founded by Academy Awardnominated producer Larry Meistrich, has
signed the film to a global distribution
deal.
“The Mayor Of Strawberry Fields” is a
moving look into the quirky homeless subculture living in Central Park. Gary, the
self-proclaimed “mayor” of Strawberry
Fields, has lived at John Lennon’s Imagine
Memorial and decorated it with flowers
for the past 14 years. Thousands of
tourists see his labor of love daily, while he
sits on as the “silent” artist.
Catalano has written for Comedy Central,
been published in Seventeen Magazine,
and has creatively consulted for some of
the biggest record labels in the music
industry.
After several years working in artist management, Catalano turned his focus to
writing, directing and producing short
films, documentaries and viral music
videos for many of the brightest stars in
music — including John Legend for the
Emmy Award-winning “Yes We Can”
Obama tribute video.
He now lives in Hollywood where he is
director of video production for Capitol

With his first novel, Greg Faherty, ’84,
(writing as JG Faherty) takes readers on a
thrilling, frightening roller coaster ride
through the “Carnival of Fear,” a supernatural fair where monsters come to life
and a group of teenagers must find their
way out of the haunted mansion before
they are the next victims. Enter the nightmare, where your soul is the final prize.
When the carnival showed up on
Halloween eve, everyone thought it would
be a night of fun and adventure. Now
they’re fighting to stay alive until dawn.
Thomas F.
Monteleone, awardwinning author of
more than 36 novels,
says, “‘Carnival of
Fear’ is aptly named
— Faherty takes us on
an outrageous journey into nightmare
that’s equal parts
Bradbury and Barker. From the opening
page, this one rips into high-gear and
takes you on a funhouse ride you'll never
forget.”
Deborah LeBlanc, author of “The Wolven”
and “Water Witch,” says, “JG Faherty’s
‘Carnival of Fear’ takes us into a world
where survival of the fittest is a gross
understatement and fear is the norm. In
this page-turning novel, Faherty goes
about proving once and for all that hell
does exist — and you needn’t be dead to
find it. It finds you. A must read!”
Faherty’s short fiction has been published
in numerous magazines and anthologies.
He owns and operates a resume business,

with several other stories and novels.

Dr. Michael E. Frisina, ’77, has published
his first book, titled “Metamorphosis —
Why Christians Don’t Change.”
The book makes a direct link between
neuroscience research on how the brain
functions in the midst of behavior changes
and Biblical references to conforming behavior to the
nature and character of Jesus Christ.
The purpose of the
book is to help
people live their
lives in peace and
harmony by aligning core values and daily behavior choices. The book is available at all major
bookstore outlets, online and on Kindle.
John Robert Greene, ’77, is author of
“America in the Sixties” published by
Syracuse University Press.
Sandwiched between
the placid ’50s and
the flamboyant ’70s,
the ’60s, a decade of
tumultuous change
and stunning paradoxes, is often
reduced to a series of
slogans, symbols and
media images. In
“America in the Sixties,” Greene goes
beyond the clichés and synthesizes 30
years of research, writing and teaching
on one of the most turbulent decades of
the 20th century.
Greene sketches the well-known players
of the period — John F. Kennedy, Lyndon
B. Johnson, Martin Luther King Jr.,
Malcolm X and Betty Friedan — bringing
each to life with subtle detail. He introduces the reader to lesser-known incidents of the decade and offers fresh and
persuasive insights on many of its watershed events.
Greene chronicles the decade in a thematic manner, devoting individual chapters to such subjects as the legacy of the
’50s, the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, the civil rights movements and
the war in Vietnam.
Greene is the Paul J. Schupf Professor of
History and Humanities at Cazenovia
College. He has written or edited 13
books, including “The Limits of Power:
The Nixon and Ford Administrations” and
“The Presidency of Gerald R. Ford.”
Tim Lyons, ’69, has published his fourth
book, “Good Guy Handbook: Comfort

The “Good Guy
Handbook” is 330

volunteerism, and
begins as an invitation to become
involved or increase
our involvement in
some form of notfor-profit activity.
“It discusses various causes, such as feeding the hungry, the environment, youth

for 18 years.
After the company decided
to sell his division in 1987,
Allan Ramming teamed with
employees from the plant
and investors to buy it,
renaming it Electro
Abrasives.
In its first year, Electro Abrasives
expanded to two plants: one that manufactured fine powders and one that
crushed materials into macro grits used
for products such as sandpaper and
brake linings.
“He had a vision for what the company
could achieve through strong leadership
and employee involvement,” Betty
Ramming said, noting Allan’s attention
to the company’s quality systems.
Their daughter, Kristine, researched
boron carbide’s domestic suppliers as an
Alfred University student and pointed
out the need for more sources in the
U.S. Allan Ramming added a boron carbide crushing plant to process materials
for customers such as the federal government.
Before Allan Ramming died of kidney

Betty Ramming said her husband’s
achievements extended beyond business minutiae.
“(Allan) was more than just a smallbusiness owner,” she said. “He helped
many customers improve their products
along the way, providing technical help,
research from a ceramic engineer on
staff, and samples of materials so that
they, too, could grow and improve their
processes.”
Allan Ramming served as chairman of
the Abrasive Grain Association, and was
a member of the United Abrasive
Manufacturing Association and The
Refractories Institute. He was honored
by Oxford’s “Who’s Who” from 19921993.
Betty Ramming said the two scholarships in his name honor him in another

this is just not the case. Our Advancement staff is conscious
each and every day of benchmarks and goals needed to sustain the annual operating vitality of the University as they also
work to increase the University’s endowment.
T
he health of a person depends on a balanced diet,
plenty of exercise, proper sleeping habits, and annual
check-ups. The health of an organization involves a different set of indicators. How is financial health assessed and
determined? For higher education institutions such as St. Bonaventure University, the answer can include many of the following:
■

A strong endowment
Large classes and higher-scoring students
Program accreditation and marketable academic offerings
High percentage of alumni donors
Highly-credentialed, diversified faculty
Robust grants and/or government relations activity
Solid revenue streams and economic development
The University completed its most successful campaign in May
2009 with more than $95 million raised.
What many alumni and friends don’t realize is that funds raised
during a campaign are usually spent on capital “bricks and mortar” projects, or invested by the University’s endowment.
Some folks think the University has $95 million in surplus, but
12
St. Bonaventure’s endowment totaled $42.4 million at May
31, 2010, which is an increase of $3.8 million from 2009. The
Board of Trustees’ asset allocation policy is structured for longterm growth while minimizing risk and achieving targeted
annual returns.
“A healthy and growing endowment fund is one of the most
important priorities for St. Bonaventure,” said Brenda McGee,
senior vice president for Finance and Administration. Gifts to
the endowment help to ensure St. Bonaventure’s long-term
success while providing support for today’s students, she
added.

“This is still higher than the national average,” said Andrea
Bidell, director of the Annual Fund, “but we want to retain
our donors from year to year. In order to do that, we have
aligned nearly 80 alumni volunteers who will be helping
the Bonaventure Fund during the year.”
The University is also committed to raising donor retention.
Presently, the retention rate is 70 percent; the Annual Fund
Office would like to see that number increase to a minimum of 80 percent.
SBU Alumni Participation:
All Levels of Giving
St. Bonaventure is relying more on The Bonaventure Fund,
our annual appeal to alumni, parents and friends. This
fund has historically contributed 5 percent to the
University’s operating revenue — just more than $2.2 million — which allows the University to retain top students
and faculty, but it continues to compete in a very tough
environment.

Our University delivers approximately $22 million in scholarship and financial aid to 90 percent of our student body.
While The Bonaventure Fund is just one indicator of the
University’s financial health, it is a key lifeline of the institution. Please help us keep The Bonaventure Fund strong.
Just as you receive your annual health check-up, please
consider an annual gift to your alma mater for its continued financial health.
This is a powerful statement coming from a small, independent college such as St. Bonaventure.

“While the pot of family funds is smaller these days, I continue to ask our donors if St. Bonaventure is among their top
three philanthropies,” said Mary Driscoll, associate vice president for Advancement. “This is usually a good indicator that
the alumnus/a is a loyal donor who will continue to give or
increase their gift if given a compelling reason. And what better reason than knowing you are helping the next generation
of Bonaventure leaders?”

The Future Faces of
Health Care
It’s natural to wonder how you’ll do in
medical school when you come from a college most of your classmates know little
about.
Requirements vary from school to school,
but GW even waives the Medical College
Admission Test requirement, making its
dual admit program particularly inviting.
Patel. “Everyone was so personable. It was
a lot different from all the other interviews
I had, just because everybody was so genuine and so interested in helping you out.”
“There are students here from MIT and
Johns Hopkins,” said Zaikos. “And other
students, who entered GW the same way I
did, through an early assurance program,
come from places like Maryland and other
large colleges and universities throughout
the country. They don’t come from 2,000student colleges in the middle of Western
New York. The fact that we have this program at St. Bonaventure is incredible.”
St. Bonaventure also has early assurance
programs in medicine with GW and
Upstate Medical. Students apply for early
assurance after their sophomore year at
Bonaventure and, if accepted, are guaranteed a seat in medical school when they
graduate.
John Bernett, another first-year GW medical student, applied to 15 schools with
dual degree programs and was accepted at
eight of them. The Sayre, Pa., native said
St. Bonaventure presented “more of a family atmosphere. At some of the big schools,
you were just a number and they pushed
you through the process. At Bonaventure it
was definitely more like a family.”
George Washington has no other joint
BS/MD program with an undergraduate
institution, so the dual admit program with
St. Bonaventure is a big lure for high school
students far and wide who recognize GW
as one of the foremost medical institutions
in North America.
But while it is the flagship program for
medical school-bound students at St. Bonaventure, it is just one of several dual or
combined degree opportunities under the
university’s Franciscan Health Care
Professions program.

There are 77 students, 29 of them freshmen, presently enrolled in dual degree and
early assurance programs at St. Bonaventure, said Dr. Allen Knowles, Franciscan
Health Care Professions director. And
while most of those students come from
the Northeast, the number includes students from California, Arizona, Florida
and Michigan.

Bonaventure website after searching for
dual degree programs.
By Tom Donahue
t was a day or two after the first block of
exams at The George Washington University
School of Medicine and Health Sciences in
early October, and several students who
arrived at GW through the dual admission or
early assurance program with St. Bonaventure
University were hanging out, talking.
Someone opened the St. Bonaventure website on
his computer and there they were in a big photo on
the home page: 10 recent St. Bonaventure graduates who are now attending medical school at GW
— all sporting crisp white lab coats, all smiling
proudly, and one, naturally, holding up a “Rock the
Reilly” towel.
Across the bottom of the photo was the message
“becoming prepared.”
“It’s funny,” said Tommy Zaikos, one of the students
in the photo and one of the Bonnies in the room
that day. “We had been talking about our transition
from college to medical school and the exact words
out of my mouth were, ‘we’re all better prepared.’
“It’s odd to say — I mean, I don’t want to jinx
myself — but I think all the other Bonaventure students share the same feeling that our first block of
exams was actually kind of easy,” said Zaikos, a
2010 SBU graduate. “I think Bonaventure prepared
us very well.”
There are also combined degree programs
in medicine with SUNY Upstate Medical
University in Syracuse and Lake Erie College
of Osteopathic Medicine, with campuses in
Erie, Pa., and Bradenton, Fla.; a dual
degree program with LECOM’s School of
Pharmacy; a dual degree program with
University at Buffalo School of Dental
Medicine; and a dual degree program with
Daemen College School of Physical
Therapy.
Dual-degree students have a reserved seat
in medical school awaiting them upon satisfactory completion of their undergraduate work at Bonaventure.
Typically, they apply to multiple dual
degree programs and they have a handful
of acceptances from which to choose.
Many find themselves heading to St. Bonaventure for reasons that ring familiar with
any alum.
Devin Patel, a first-year medical student at
GW, grew up outside of Philadelphia.
St. Bonaventure was one of a half-dozen
schools with dual degree programs that
he applied to.
“I really liked the feel when I visited,” said

Brooke Blazius, a St. Bonaventure junior
who has a seat at LECOM in Erie waiting
for her when she graduates, grew up an
hour north of Detroit.
“I applied to 11 colleges and about six
were dual admission programs,” she said.
“St. Bonaventure was the first to give me
an interview — they responded quicker
than anyone else. I always liked the idea
of a smaller campus, smaller class sizes,
more attention from teachers, so that was
definitely a plus on paper. But when I
came here I really loved how beautiful the
area was and I just thought it was a place I
could see myself for the next four years of
my life.”
The architect of the Franciscan Health Care
Professions program was Dr. Michael
Domboski, a 1972 St. Bonaventure graduate who went on to earn a doctor of medical dentistry degree from Tufts University
School of Dental Medicine, then practiced
in Olean for 22 years.
After selling his practice in 2000, Domboski
mentioned to a neighbor that he’d like to
do some teaching at a community college.
The neighbor, Dr. Robert Harlan, professor
of computer science at St. Bonaventure,
urged him to contact then-dean of Arts and
Sciences Dr. James White.
“Jim had heard something about these
dual admission agreements – our sister
school, Siena, had one with Albany Medical
College – and wondered if I was willing to
come down and look into it for St. Bonaventure,” said Domboski.
He would spend the next seven years establishing the eight dual degree and early
assurance programs under the Franciscan
Health Care Professions umbrella.

program with them. We were going to be
their bachelor of science/medical program.
“I think a lot of it was my relationship with
them 30 years earlier … but I was probably
just in the right place at the right time,” said
Domboski.
It was more than serendipity that brought
the schools together, said Dean McQuail.
“When Mike approached me I was intrigued,
particularly since St. Bonaventure, as we do,
has a mission of service,” she said.
Pre-health care student Priya Singhal
Domboski first approached LECOM in Erie
because of its close proximity to Bonaventure and because it already had dual
degree programs with other schools.
Using the Siena plan as a model, he
secured contracts with LECOM for dual
degree programs in osteopathic medicine
and pharmacy.
Then he had a brainstorm. Some 30 years
earlier, Domboski had done his three-year
oral and facial residency at Washington
Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., and
a fellowship in facial plastic surgery at
George Washington University School of
Medicine.
“I was sitting in my office one day and
thought, gee, I wonder if anybody’s left
that I had some contact with,” he
recalled. “So I wrote a cold letter to the
dean of admissions at the medical school
at GW.”
A week later he got a letter from Diane
McQuail, assistant dean of admissions at
GW’s School of Medicine and Health
Sciences. “She said, ‘ya know, we’d be
very interested,’” said Domboski. George
Washington had a dual BA/MD program
with its own undergraduate school and
was thinking of starting a BS/MD program.
No one was more surprised than
Domboski at how quickly things fell into
place. “Of all the contracts I’ve done, it
was probably the easiest,” he said.
“Within six weeks, I had a fully functional

“Academic rigor is clearly important, but
experience is important to us as well.
Frankly, one of the concerns about dual
degree programs is that kids come in
and they don’t do very much. They’re
in the program and they sort of coast
through. They do really well academically but don’t really push themselves
to go outside the box to have other
experiences. But the Bonaventure students absolutely do. The students
we’re getting from Bonaventure have
done some interesting things.”
The SBU-GW program is 4+4, meaning
students must spend four years at St.
Bonaventure before going to GW. But
many dual admit students arrive at
Bonaventure with a semester or more
worth of AP and college credits.
“I think it is something that is just in the
warp and weft of the school,” he said.
“They participate in Bona Responds,
Bona Buddies, the Warming House and
spring break service trips, in addition to
completing internship opportunities at
Olean General Hospital, area nursing
homes and daycare centers.
“We start when they are freshmen, saying, ‘When you go to GW, what are you
going to take with you other than A’s in
biology courses? What are you going to
bring to their community of scholars that
is going to make it a better place?”
St. Bonaventure is doing things right, said
Dean McQuail.
“Academic rigor is
clearly important,
but experience is
important to us as well
... We’re getting some
great students from
St. Bonaventure.”
Coast? As a Bonaventure undergraduate,
Zaikos, a native of Ontario, Canada, was a
four-year varsity soccer player, a tutor, lab
assistant, summer researcher, and was
named the Ideal Bonaventure Student at

In his four years at Bonaventure, Shawn
Sood, ’09, of Katy, Texas, earned both a

while at SBU. And Keelan O’Connell, ’10, of
Abilene, Texas, completed her undergraduate
work in three years and is presently on a mission trip in East Timor before entering GW
next fall.
Knowles, who followed Domboski as program director in November 2008, said service
is part of the Franciscan Health Care
Professions students’ contract, but no armtwisting is needed.

“I can’t say enough good things about it.
I’ve run early selection and linkage programs for more than 20 years and this
really is a well-oiled program,” she said.
“It’s the work on the ground that you all
have been doing – certainly Mike
(Domboski), Allen (Knowles), everyone in
Admissions, and everybody else that’s
supportive. They’re wonderful people to
work with, and it certainly seems that
Bonaventure is a community that supports its students.”
Perhaps the best endorsement of the
Franciscan Health Care Professions program comes from the students themselves.
“The unique thing about Bonaventure is
that it has so many of these programs
that there is essentially a sub-community
of students with pre-health contracts
who have similar goals and interests,”
said Danielle Schenone, a Bonaventure

junior from Elmira who has a seat awaiting
her at SUNY Upstate Medical. “We do tend
to study together and interact together
because we have that in common.”
Knowles said the programs are also a lure for
students who intend to take the traditional
path to a medical career by applying to medical school after getting a bachelor’s degree
at Bonaventure.
“They see we have these connections with
medical schools and assume we’re doing
something right,” he said.
Students also cite as Bonaventure bonuses
the $13.5 million William F. Walsh Science
Center that opened in 2008, small class sizes,
and the opportunity to work closely with
dedicated and approachable faculty.
Thomas Walters looks at a culture in the lab at Olean General Hospital.
“Right now, if I wanted to, I could go knock
on the door of a biology professor or a
chemistry professor, a Ph.D., and say, ‘Hey,
how’d your son’s soccer game go, or what
did you do this weekend — and by the way,
can you explain what you were talking about
in your lecture today?” said Schenone.
“There’s no gate you have to cross, no teaching assistant you have to go to first. That’s
definitely a Bonaventure advantage.”

A Healthy
Dose of reality
Dr. Michael Fischer, provost and vice president for academic affairs at St. Bonaven-ture,
said the university’s ability to form and sustain relationships with prestigious medical
schools is certainly a reflection of the energy
and commitment of Drs. Domboski and
Knowles, but it’s much more.
“It’s also an endorsement of our academic
programs and the ability of our knowledgeable, caring and dedicated professors to prepare our students for the most challenging
academic and professional pursuits that await
them when they leave here,” he said.
“And most importantly, I think that it speaks
volumes about the quality of our students,
that they are offered acceptance to top medical schools before they have even graduated
from high school.”
GW’s Dean McQuail couldn’t agree more.
“We’re getting some great students from St.
Bonaventure,” she said. “When they come
here they’re alive, very gracious, very interested. They’re genuinely nice kids.”

Dr. Shoaib Asgher (center), a University at Buffalo family practice resident, talks with St. Bonaventure students Sandra Jenkins
and James Lee during rounds at Olean General Hospital.
Hospital officials were surprised when
they started looking for programs to
model theirs after, said William Mills, senior vice president of quality and professional affairs at OGH.
“We did a lot of Internet searching and I
talked with several folks around the country who did similar things, but no place
really had a kind of structured approach
to this,” said Mills.
“Our thought was that this would not
only be an opportunity for combined
degree students in St. Bonaventure’s
Franciscan Health Care Professions program to see things firsthand, but that it
might serve as a differentiator on the
medical application of a traditional
premed student.”
The Experience in Clinical Medicine is a
shadowing program, but with a shot of
adrenalin.
“We refer to it as an observational experience, but it really goes deeper than that,”
said Mills. “For instance, when students
go into the operating room they’ll change
their clothes and go to the sink where
one of the staff will teach them how to
scrub, and while they’re doing that they
have a list of objectives that they’ll talk
about: why they’re scrubbing, what sterile
procedure entails. After they’re scrubbed
they’ll go into the OR and observe what-
18
ever’s going on, from colon surgery to
putting tubes in a kid’s ears to an orthopedic procedure of a joint replacement.”
In addition to the hospital component,
the program includes classroom sessions
back at Bonaventure led by University
Ministries team members in which students are asked to consider their hospital
experience “through the lens of
Franciscan values,” said Dr. Allen
Knowles, who succeeded Dr. Domboski
as director of the Franciscan Health Care
Professions program in 2008.
The program continues to be reshaped,
said Knowles, and there are plans to
change it from a voluntary offering to a
credit course. “Having that hospital connection, being able to put people in there
in several venues, is important,” he said.
Hospital CEO Finan, who sits on the university’s Board of Trustees and whose
father, Professor Austin Finan, taught
finance at St. Bonaventure for 42 years,
agrees. “I’m thrilled with it. It’s great for
St. Bonaventure students and it adds a lot
of vibrancy to the hospital,” he said.
Alice Georgitso, a senior from East
Amherst who plans to pursue a master’s
in public health after she graduates from
St. Bonaventure, then apply to medical
school, said the program is helping her
chart her future.
“The most effective way to learn about
what area of health care interests you is
to be immersed in that environment, and
the OGH experience does just that,” she
said.
Sophomore James Lee of San Marino,
Calif., a combined degree student headed
to Lake Erie College of Osteopathic
Medicine (LECOM) after Bonaventure,
said the program has helped him zero in
on the kind of physician he wants to be.
“I was fortunate enough to experience
many departments in Olean General,”
said Lee. “In the Emergency Department,
I shadowed the attending physician who
was compassionate and professional at
the same time, which I really admire and
hope to emulate.”
The program is making a difference, said
Mills.
“You can’t really sell the idea that if you
take this course you’re going to end up in
med school, but I know for a fact that it
helped one of the students now at
LECOM,” he said. “I had a conversation
with the dean there who said that the
student was able to articulate some of
the things she learned from our program and it bumped her up off their
wait list to an accepted position. It
made a difference because it showed
that this was a motivated student who
wanted to go above and beyond.”
Even though October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, this
disease is in the forefront of Hens’ mind a majority of the year.
Undergraduate students in tow, the St. Bonaventure assistant
professor of biology performs cell cultures, histology sections, and
micro-dissections to try and discover what effect the absence of
certain proteins may have on breast cancer and mammary gland
development using mice as her model organism.
Some of these terms
may be confusing to
non-biologists but the
results of Hens’ research
are easy to understand.
“[This research] will help
characterize the kind of
breast cancer because
breast cancer has all
kinds of reasons for
forming,” says Hens.
She also states that
being able to correctly identify the type of breast cancer will make
it easier to assign an appropriate treatment for it, which will
increase efficiency of treatment.
The mice that provide the basis of Hens’ research are what Hens
describes as “knock-out mice.” These mice don’t possess the proteins that Hens and her students are studying, such as cadherin11 or CTGF. This allows for her to research the effect that the
absence of these proteins has on mammary gland development.
Although Hens enjoys working with undergraduate students, she
admits that some adjustments must be made. “[The research]
takes a lot longer because everyone is taking classes so they only
have a certain amount of time,” she said.
She is trying to create an environment that allows for students to
learn from one another. She tries not to enlist all new students at
once, allowing the more seasoned students to aid the newcomers. This semester, Hens is teaching “Genetics” and “Junior
Seminar.” In the spring, her course load will include
“Developmental Biology” and “Molecular Cell Biology.”
Presently, Hens is working to receive outside funding to expand
her research opportunities. This year she is expecting to receive a
confocal microscope, which will allow for much more precise

observation. The microscope costs close to half a million dollars but
will allow students to view live tissue. “You can take tissue and
watch things move around in there,” Hens describes excitedly.
It is clear, even to an audience whose interest in science may end
with the Discovery Channel, that Hens’ research is not only exciting
but useful. Right on the St. Bonaventure campus there is thrilling
research taking place, with the help of undergraduate students,
which may change the approach that physicians take toward treating breast cancer.

Chambers, M.D., ’76, may have been
destined for a career in cardiology.
Since 1987, he has been on staff at the
Hershey Medical Center of the Penn
State University College of Medicine
where he has been director of the

since 1994, and professor of medicine
and radiology with tenure since 2002.

Rob classmates. Of the 84 guys on the
floor in the fall of ‘72, 36 were freshmen.
A clinical cardiologist with a busy practice, Chamber also spends several days
a week in the cardiac catheterization
laboratory doing procedures.
“It was a tremendous group of guys …
we won freshman basketball (tournaments) and it was a great start and gave
me a support group that I really needed
for the four years. I knew I needed to
study really hard for the grades, and
with a job on weekends I was limited
with spare time, but the guys in the
dorm were always great to me. They
made feel good about myself and I will
never forget them for that,” added
Chambers.
He participates in clinical research as
well as teaching medical students during their clinical rotations, the internal
medicine residents during their cardiology rotations, and the cardiology fellows
in preparation to be cardiologists.
He had similar experiences with SBU
faculty and staff.
“Dr. Ronald Hartman was my med
school adviser and had a large impact
on my career in medicine. Also, Fr. Dan
Hurley, O.F.M., was a tremendous mentor. I never would be where I am today
without him,” Chambers said.
Chambers said he was quiet during his
first two years at SBU, where he “studied my butt off” and worked weekends
at the Cattaraugus County Nursing
Home. Then he applied for an RA position.
Dr. Charles E. Chambers (left) is pictured with colleagues from Hershey Medical Center.
“I thought initially — and still do —
that it would be a challenging and
exciting career with many divergent
opportunities and the potential to make
a difference in people’s lives,” said
Chambers.

interventional procedures on patients
within their cardiovascular system, predominantly diagnostic heart catheterizations and therapeutic coronary artery

participate in writing groups and committees for the American College of
Cardiology (ACC) and the Society for

quality area and radiation safety,” said
Chambers.
Reflecting on his undergraduate years at

medicine at the State University of New
York at Buffalo, and cardiology at the
University of Vermont.

ichael Rauh remembers
when he first thought
about becoming a doctor.
“I have this picture from a field trip
to a Syracuse hospital when I was in
second grade,” said Rauh. “I was
decked out in the scrubs and hat and
mask and I thought, ‘Wow, this is
really cool. I think I might want to do
this some day.’”
Rauh moved in third grade to
Orchard Park, where he now works at UBMD Orthopaedics
and Sports Medicine, one of 18 practices under the umbrella
of the University at Buffalo’s School of Medicine and
Biomedical Sciences.
The UBMD model means Rauh, SBU class of 1995 and a graduate of UB’s medical school, also teaches; he’s an assistant
clinical professor of orthopaedic surgery. As a clinical professor, much of his time teaching takes place while he’s working.
“A lot of the instruction is right in the operating room,” Rauh
said. “A much smaller percentage of my time teaching is in a
classroom setting.”
A specialist in sports medicine, Rauh worked with the Browns,
Indians and Cavaliers while doing a fellowship at the
renowned Cleveland Clinic in 2006-2007. He’s now the team
physician for the Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse
League.
His residency in Buffalo was in general surgery, but the sports
medicine field intrigued him.
“I just felt it was an expanding field, with better opportunities,” Rauh said. “The ability to stay on the cutting edge of
research meant a lot.”
The days of having to open up the knee for almost any injury
passed long before Rauh began practice, but surgical
advances haven’t slowed down.
“Just in the last 10 years we’ve made great progress in shoulder and knee arthroscopy,” Rauh said. “We’re currently working on computer assistance for reconstructions and
osteotomies.
“We have the ability to put in infrared trackers, kind of like a
remote control, that get pushed into the femur and tibia
bones so that we can … look at alignment and angles and
instability. Things that were only able to be felt by a surgeon’s
hands can now actually be quantified, which we hope will
improve surgical outcomes.”
Rauh treasures his experience at Bonaventure, where he was
one of the first three students to earn a degree in biochemistry. (Dr. Sal Pacella is a California plastic surgeon, and Dr.
Stacy Dacosta Byfield is a senior researcher at i3 Innovus.)
“When I see patients … I treat them like they are my own
family. Being a doctor is about building relationships,” Rauh
said. “That’s what Bonaventure is really about — relationship
building, with all the people in your major, with your professors, and with all the other students.
“A successful medical practice is not just about treating an
injury, it’s about creating a trust irrespective of the outcome.
Your patients want to be able to trust that you’re doing the
right thing.”

“The Navy gave me a chance to expand my technology base but
still be in a pretty exciting job,” said Hook, a native of Kenmore,
N.Y., who then worked for Duracell USA for six years before
founding the Van Owen Group Acquisition Company in 1997.
The business acumen Hook brought to a traditionally slow-paced
industry has helped Greatbatch become one of the nation’s leading
medical technology companies. The company has acquired 10 medtech companies in the last 12 years — six since 2007.
Wilson Greatbatch co-invented the pacemaker in 1960, “but the
company he founded 40 years ago was to develop batteries for
medical devices,” Hook said. “That’s still 10 to 15 percent of our
sales, but the company today is very broad-ranging, from vascular
and orthopaedics to neurology.”

biology.
Sullivan said the principles she learned as
a student-athlete at St. Bonaventure continue to guide her on a new team, a
group of specialists at Cleveland Clinic’s
Mellen Center who treat people with
multiple sclerosis.
A math and chemistry major at Bonaventure, Hook went on to
earn master’s degrees from UB and Vanderbilt before serving in
the U.S. Navy as a nuclear engineer.

om Hook is glad he didn’t have a clue in college. “I always
find it amazing that people at 18 think they know what
they want to do because I had absolutely no idea,” said
Hook, class of 1984 and president and CEO of Western New
York-based Greatbatch Inc. “Maybe I was enlightened enough to
keep an open mindset. That’s why I really liked Bona’s. As a small
liberal arts institution, it kept all my doors open to me.”
“I had owned a lot of companies and sold them all, but because of
a non-compete (clause), I couldn’t go back and work in the electronics industry so I had to find a new industry,” he said. “As I got
older, I realized that working on things that were significant to
mankind was important so, for me, health care kind of stood out.”
Greatbatch spends roughly $50 million annually on research and
development.
HealthNow New York asked Hook to join its board of directors in
2009, and in June he was appointed board chair of HealthNow,
BlueCross BlueShield’s parent company.
“This is a great opportunity to work in the health industry to facilitate change, to get higher standards of care and best practices out
to the public sooner,” Hook said.
Not bad for a guy who didn’t know what he wanted to do in college.
“Even having zero experience in health care, I felt extremely well
prepared based on the education I received at Bonaventure,” Hook
said. “I learned how to learn there. Bonaventure taught me how to
be a good student, a good listener, a good learner. Once you get
good at learning, not a whole lot can inhibit you.”

uriosity is the essence of
education. This is what Dr.
Xiao-Ning Zhang of St.
Bonaventure’s Department of
Biology believes, and much of the
reason she includes undergraduates
so extensively in her research.
“[Scientists] are not weird people.
We do science because it’s fun for
us and we want to share this view
with students,” states Zhang.
Zhang’s research relates to the
Arabidopsis plant, or “mouse-ear”
cress. The cress is a “model organism,” which means the knowledge
gained from studying it can easily
be applied to many other organisms. Specifically, the research
observes RNA splicing in the
Arabidopsis. This is a naturally
occurring function in all living
things, including humans. However,
if mutations occur during this process, it may
lead to some serious malfunctions in the
entire system. For example, such mutations
can cause cystic fibrosis in humans.
In addition to the main project that studies
different regulating factors in the splicing
network, Zhang and her students also apply
outside variables to the Arabidopsis to study
the RNA splicing process. One student, Alex
Joseph, is studying how different concentrations of salt and
sugar affect the
growth of the
seedlings and
how germination will occur
because of it.
When asked
about the
practical
application of
her research,
Zhang
responds
emphatically: Wellness.
“I don’t think it matters what career path these students choose, they really have the opportunity to explore and then to wonder and to be curious about things. I think that’s the
essence of education,” says Dr. Xiao-Ning Zhang (above, left). She’s pictured in the lab with
SBU students Jill Remick (front) and Kevin Cilano. BELOW: Students Sinead Coleman and
Jason Chien.
“Plants are at the bottom of the chain of life
and without plants, humans would cease to
exist, “Zhang says. She believes that understanding that fact will lead to a better environment and ultimately a better life for all
human beings.
Just as the applications of Zhang’s research
are infinite, so are the possibilities for every
student who joins her in the lab. Zhang
wants her students to enjoy the lab experience.
“If you don’t enjoy something, you’re not
going to do it for the rest of your life,” she
reasons. She also thinks that lab work can
help to reinforce the knowledge students
have gained from textbooks and in classes.
Some students even receive a salary for their
work in the lab. Thanks to a grant from the
National Science Foundation, Zhang is able to
pay some students a salary, with priority
going to seniors. Juniors who are patient and
remain with the program until their senior
year will then receive the same benefits.
Many people may imagine research, especially of the magnitude that Zhang is conducting, to take place in a distant and intimidating laboratory. However, there are
undergraduate students participating in
exciting research right on our own campus
and the benefits are tremendous.
One of the key capacities she hopes for students to develop is to have an open mind.
“If you don’t have an open mind, you’re not
going to do good science. And it’s not just
for your own sake, it’s for the sake of everybody,” says Zhang.
Zhang’s ongoing research is supported by an
award (0950158) from the National Science
Foundation.

Lakewood, N.Y., plans to graduate from St.

ou’d think it would be enough for a young optometrist to travel to
some of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere — Haiti,
Jamaica, Guatemala, Cuba, Trinidad — on mission trips for a few
weeks a couple of times a year.
You’d think Dr. Doug Villella, O.D., ’78, would be satisfied knowing
he and his colleagues were changing lives by preventing the blindness glaucoma can cause, examining thousands of patients over the
years and providing glasses and medication to people who would
otherwise have no access to eye care.
But he was not.

E
ven for a young man with an
adventurous heart, you’d think
it might be enough to
doggedly pursue a connection
with a complete stranger,
Vincent Pescatore, who was running
orphanages for the children of civil war victims in Guatemala, then hop into a tiny airplane with him and fly out of a cow pasture into the unknown.
At one point Pescatore had to navigate
through two mountain peaks because the
plane didn’t have enough get-up-and-go to
actually make it over the range.
When they got to the remote rainforest
outpost, Villella and his team provided basic
care to hundreds of children who had never
been seen by an eye doctor.
You’d think maybe then he’d be satisfied
that he was doing enough.
Fortunately for the thousands and thousands of patients now being served by the
permanent eye clinics Villella has helped to
establish in Guatemala, he was not. And,
of course, he’s not done yet.
It’s a fascinating, spirit-infused story of
trust. We all have dreams and passions.
What is it that allows Villella to live his so
fully? What goes on inside as he stares
down one obstacle after another?
And how has the Erie, Pa., optometrist
grown through this incredible adventure?
From the beginning, there were amazing,
synchronous events. There was the
intense, first mission trip to Haiti as he
neared the end of his studies in optometry that followed the completion of his
undergraduate degree in biology from
St. Bonaventure.
see if he could say hello to Fr. Tony, a
Franciscan who ran the St. Francis Inn
soup kitchen.
Villella had frequently sought him out for
dinner and considered him a friend and
role model during his years of study.
The priest known to Villella as “Fr. Tony”
is today known as Fr. Bob Struzynski,
O.F.M. Fr. Bob is now a member of the
Mt. Irenaeus community and was a member of the theology faculty and Campus
Ministry when Villella attended St. Bonaventure.
“I went along because I was interested in
travel,” Villella admits. “I had no idea I
would want to be involved forever.”
“I pulled in, and he was two minutes
from getting in his car,” says Villella.
“He had just closed down the operation
after seven years, and was leaving to
begin missionary work in Jamaica.”
After graduation from Pennsylvania
College of Optometry, Villella left the
Philadelphia area.
He shakes his head at the memory. “Three
minutes later and I would have missed
him.”
A year later, he made a spur-of-themoment decision to get off I-95 as he
drove past his old stomping grounds to
So it was another year later Villella found
himself in Jamaica. “I went so I could
understand Fr. Tony’s work,” Villella says.
“I spent the week sharing in the community and prayer life of several priests at
the mission. I witnessed how they
immersed themselves in the culture.”
Fr. Tony’s ability to break down barriers
made an impression on Villella.
“He didn’t want to be a priest handing
out food and clothing in a church,”
Villella says. “I appreciated the degree to
which he wanted to be present to the
people he served.”
The Jamaican experience stayed with
Villella as he traveled to a handful of
developing nations on mission trips twice
a year over the next few years. It was a
heady feeling to take the skills he had
been taught and use them for people in
dire need.
Eventually, an unsettled feeling grew in
Villella.
“I began to wonder if I was serving my
own needs more than the needs of the
people,” he says. He sensed a call to do
more, even though it wasn’t clear what
that might mean.
On one of his mission trips, Villella was
caring for people at a temporary clinic set
up in Guatemala. As usual, people were
coming from miles around for eye care.
At one point, he happened to see an
elderly man guided by his two sons as
they arrived in the courtyard outside the
clinic. He guessed they had been walking
for at least two days.
“Without even bringing him into the
clinic, I could tell right away that we
would not be able to help him,” Villella
says. “He had dense cataracts and we
were not prepared to offer surgery.”
His heart sank.
Sure, he could share information about
surgery options in Guatemala City.

Doug Villella’s firsthand experience convinced
him of the importance of establishing permanent, local eye clinics in developing nations.
“There was a lot of empowerment for us
and for the people we served,” he says.
“But as I look back on it, we were completely shrouded in naiveté.”
And then in 1995, an encounter with a
family in Guatemala changed everything.
The life of 5-year-old Gerson Estuard
changed dramatically when

But that was a 10-hour bus ride away.
“They did not know much about life
beyond their village,” Villella explains. “It
was not realistic to think they would
even be able to find their way to the
hospital.” At that point, he was angered
by the thought he was doing more harm
than good.
“I knew that if another team came to
the area in the future, perhaps with a
surgeon, this man and his sons would
not return. What would make them
think the journey would be worthwhile?” he asks.
clinic,’” Villella remembers. “He didn’t say,
‘Could you, or would you,’ he said, ‘I need
you to.’ But he was completely transparent, a holy man.”
Villella says Pescatore always went 10
steps beyond what he’d ever seen anybody do when seeking God’s help prayerfully.
“He didn’t just pray and fast, he slept on
the floor,” Villella says.
So Villella was open to new answers. At
the end of that same week, he finally
got through to Vincent Pescatore using
the one phone in the village. They made
arrangements for Villella and two colleagues to meet Pescatore in that cow
pasture/air strip the next day.
“I had no idea why I was visiting him,”
says Villella, who had been encouraged
to call by a friend adopting children from
Pescatore’s orphanage. But the two
formed an instant connection and had
several important conversations in the
one day they had together.
“Vincent said, ‘I need you to build an eye
27
“So my response wasn’t, ‘Let me
think about it.’ Because of who he
was and what he was, I immediately
said, ‘OK, we’ll do it.’”
“So often we have our eyes on a
goal and we try swimming upstream
to get there,” he says. “But grace
doesn’t flow that way. Now I’ve quit
swimming and I go with the flow. I
still bump into rocks along the way,
but I also find ways around them.
The challenge is, you never really
know where you are going or what’s
around the bend.”
Looking back, Villella says it was
almost comical.
“I had no skill other than taking care
of people’s eyes,” he says. “No grant
writing, no fundraising, no idea about
what it takes to run a nonprofit. But I
still didn’t hesitate.”
Over time, things began coming
together.
Returning to Erie, Pa., Villella brought
the news to board members of what
was then called Volunteer Optometric
Services to Humanity (now Vision for
the Poor).
“That was the beginning of a struggle that continues today,” he says,
acknowledging a challenging divide
between those who wanted to move
forward with the clinic and those
who preferred an emphasis on shorter mission trips.
Villella and Pescatore met several
times in 1995, both here and abroad.
But in 1996, Pescatore perished in a
plane crash in Honduras where he was
building another orphanage.
“Right about the day I was ready to
pull my hair out — we were floundering at the end of the ’90s — a
friend of mine who works at a foundation came in for an eye exam. I
was chatting about the clinic and he
said, ‘I’m a grant writer, can I help
you?’” Villella chuckles: “You’d think
by now I wouldn’t worry about
things at all!” he says.
“My wife and family have been integral to my work,”
says Dr. Doug Villella, enjoying a moment in the back
yard with his step-daughter Amanda, son Anthony and
his wife, Holly.
So early in the process, how did this affect
Villella’s commitment? He struggles for
words as he considers the moment.
“Vincent had such a positive influence on
everyone he met, you wanted to honor
his life,” he says.
“He believed his vision was God’s vision.
He was about creating the kingdom of
God here on earth. The message was simple: The people in the developing world
deserve health care services. So to honor
his life, we carried on his mission.”
Pescatore had introduced Villella to Dr.
Antonio Hernandez, a native Guatemalan
eye doctor who was interested in working
with the rural poor.
Villella called the International Eye
Foundation about grant money; the director he happened to speak to said there
was only one doctor he knew of in
Guatemala who would be suited to the
kind of work Villella was looking to establish: Antonio Hernandez.
So with the first serious grant in hand,
space was rented, and once a month
Hernandez left his practice in Guatemala
City to serve the people in the rainforest.
Eventually Hernandez brought two more
doctors into the effort and Villella continued to hone his skills as a fundraiser back
in the United States.
Villella kept trying to listen through
prayer.

In 2004, with the help of grants
from the Lions Club, the Rotary Club
and numerous individual benefactors, the Pescatore Eye Clinic opened
in Petén where Vincent had wanted
to build. It’s a state-of-the-art facility
addressing all eye care needs from new
eye glasses to cataract surgery and
corneal transplants.
But Villella is even more excited about
what he believes the future holds.
Next on the agenda are similar clinics in
Haiti and Nicaragua, where surgeons in
those countries are building infrastructure.
In fact, plans are in place for 15 clinics in
eight countries using the Guatemalan
model.
“We are by no means secure in our
efforts to raise the money we will need,”
Villella says, “especially in this economy.”
But then he thinks back on the events of
the past 20 years. “As always,” he says,
with a shrug of the shoulders, “that is out
of our hands.”

National Alumni Association
Ensuring healthy alumni chapters
A Message from National Alumni Association Board President Lynda (Goldstein) Wilhelm, ’86
T
he theme of this
magazine edition
is health care. For
each of us, our years at
St. Bonaventure included a nurturing network
of friends, friars and
faculty. Today, as alumni, our circles have widened. Mind, body,
spirit, schools, finances, communities and
more impact our health.
What I’d like to focus on is community
health and how our close-knit family of
25,000+ alumni worldwide can strengthen
the growth and health of St.
Bonaventure alumni chapters.
March 26, 2011, will mark the second
annual International Day of Service. This
day engages alumni from Olean, N.Y., to
Singapore to Austin, Texas.
The lifeline of our alumni is pumping
across the world on this day and we need
your help to keep it pumping.
How can you help?
• Mark March 26, 2011, on your
calendar.
• Contact your alumni chapter president
to discuss plans for this big day. Offer
your suggestions and volunteer.
• If there is no plan yet for your chapter,
or if you’re not sure you are connected
to a chapter, contact our Alumni
Director, Joe Flanagan ([email protected]),
to find out more details.
Studies have shown that helping your
community helps you — volunteering for a
good cause improves mood, strengthens
body and lessens stress. I know this is true
for me, and every time I give my time to
others in need, I walk away with more
than I gave.
So let’s all pitch in to help St. Bonaventure
University’s second annual International
Service Day be a big success. Let’s show
the world what it means to be a strong
Bonaventure alum!

LIFETIME DONORS
St. Bonaventure gratefully acknowledges gifts and grants received by the University
during Fiscal Year 2010 (June 1, 2009, to May 31, 2010). The Honor Roll of Donors
reflects donations at the Merton’s Heart Club level ($500-$999) and above.
Alumni donors are listed by class year and giving society.
A list of all giving levels is available for viewing at www.sbu.edu.
THANK YOU
FOR
PARTNERING WITH OUR STUDENTS
With every gift, you partner with parents and
students. Families choose St. Bonaventure
because of its distinctive brand of higher
education — and many go to great lengths
to afford this experience that they value so
highly. They often put off replacing an aging
vehicle, forgo home repairs and make other sacrifices.
Some of our families commit to payment plans of as much as
$1,000 per month. This is in addition to receiving generous scholarship aid, as well as subsidized and non-subsidized loans. The
University allocates more than $22 million per year in scholarships

Marines honor SBU alumnus: www.sbu.edu/bonamag
J. Robert Burns
graduated in
1966 with a
bachelor’s

administration.
Some 25 St. Bonaventure graduates joined together with the Marine Corps Basic School Class 5-67 to honor
2nd Lt. John Robert “Bob” Burns, SBU class of 1966, who was killed in action during the Vietnam War. Burns’ brother
and two sisters were also on hand at the unveiling of a new memorial at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
