We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the Fontbonne University community during these challenging times. We understand the impact of college closures and recognize the difficulties you may be facing. Fontbonne shares a deep bond with Avila, as both institutions were founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph, committed to education and community.
