Now that the Queens campus has re-opened and classes resumed,
St. John’s would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the
students, faculty, staff and administrators for their cooperation
during and following the apprehension of a gunman yesterday. We are
relieved and grateful that every member of the St. John’s community
remained safe.
Most especially we are indebted to the NYPD and to Public Safety
for their quick and professional responses to the emergency. The
Emergency Plan we put in place several years ago worked and worked
well.
If you have not signed on for emergency text and voice message
alerts, we strongly urge you to do so without delay. While we hope
such an episode never again occurs on any of our campuses, we want
to be able to reach you quickly if it does. You must opt in to
receive these alerts. To do so, update your contact information in
St. John's Central or the University Information System (UIS).
The safety of all on our campuses remains our priority
