Dr. Dennis DePerro, president of St. Bonaventure University, continues his fight against COVID-19.
Dr. DePerro was admitted to a Syracuse hospital Dec. 29 after testing positive for the coronavirus on Christmas Eve. He has been placed on a ventilator and is in serious but stable condition.
“I know I speak for everyone in the Bonaventure family when I offer prayers for healing and strength to Dr. DePerro and his family at this difficult time,” said John Sheehan, chair of SBU’s Board of Trustees.
To allow Dr. DePerro the opportunity to focus completely on his health and making a full recovery, the Board of Trustees has named Dr. Joseph Zimmer, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, as acting president.
