Mission

  • As a Catholic University, the Office of New Student Orientation strives to provide a welcoming and nurturing environment for new incoming student and their families and to expose them to the many great areas of St. John's University.
     
  • As a Vincentian University, inspired by St. Vincent de Paul's compassion and zeal for service, we are committed to providing a strong sense of community where students will foster professional growth during their college years.
     
  • As a Metropolitan University, we initiate the integration of new students into the intellectual, cultural, and social climate of St. John's University and the New York City metropolitan area.

To accomplish this mission, professional, clerical and student staff members will work with other administrative offices, students, faculty, and alumni to:

  • Provide a high quality and inclusive program in which new students and their families will attain a sense of belonging to St. John's University.
     
  • Create an environment where new students can feel welcome while also preparing them for the next stage in their development as a college student.
     
  • Incorporate the many wonderful aspects on New York City into their college experience and also exposing the opportunities it has to offer.
