Orientation Dates

A Special Invitation to Parents and Guardians

Families are important to the St. John's community. For that reason, St. John's offers a Parent Orientation program. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to attend an Orientation with their student. Special sessions cover a variety of topics relevant and helpful to parents of a new college student, especially how you as a parent can support your child during this time of transition to St. John's University.

Parent Orientation 

During Parent Orientation, you learn about numerous services and opportunities we provide to involve students not only in the St. John’s community, but also in their own personal and intellectual development. Career development, leadership development, community service and educational, social and cultural activities of all kinds are available to our students. You can meet and talk with current students who share their experiences of being a member of this University community. We believe you will find Parent Orientation a great chance to network with other parents and share in the excitement of a new chapter in your child’s life.

Spring 2010 Orientation will take place on Tuesday, January 18, 2011at 8:30 a.m. on the Queens and Staten Island Campuses.
